We are all getting kind of overwhelmed by the amount of tracking going on in our everyday lives. One thing we do not get tired of is tracking things we value. A Prime example (pun intended) is your Amazon delivery. In the past, you knew when it was shipped and you knew when it arrived […]

Improvements to the UX (user experience) and UI (user interface) enhancing the added value of our products are becoming increasingly important, and Renesas has a lineup of RX family microcontrollers equipped with capacitive touch sensors to make it possible. The RX140 32-bit microcontroller with a new-generation capacitive touch sensor is now available. Renesas has more […]

Embedded Artificial Intelligence (AI) is when AI inferencing is done at the endpoint, rather than on a server in the cloud. The Renesas RZ/G FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) AI Board Support Package (BSP) is a collection of Yocto meta-layers that enable a number of popular Open Source AI frameworks to run natively on […]

The ongoing transformation of the automotive industry and the E/E architecture towards CASE (connected, autonomous, shared, electrified) requires enormous efforts and investments. Whereas such transformation is considered indispensable, it creates high-cost pressure on “legacy systems”, especially for entry to mid-range car lines. Cockpit-related modules such as in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) and digital cluster systems are facing […]

The continuing spread of COVID-19 has created an unprecedented disruption to semiconductor supply and demand. However, the trend toward electrified vehicles continues, undaunted, and the demand is expected to continue to grow significantly. This trend is revolutionizing the automotive industry in significant areas as summarized by the term CASE, Connected, Automated, Sharing, and Electric. Renesas […]

Introduction Wi-Fi 6 is the next-generation wireless technology that offers higher speeds but more importantly, it improves signal reliability, network capacity and efficiency in dense deployments. The two notable features that enable this increased network speed and efficiencies are the support for the higher channel bandwidth of 160MHz (vs. 80MHz of Wi-Fi 5 and 40MHz […]

With the growing interest in DX (Digital Transformation), the use of IoT in consumer electronics and industrial equipment is increasing. These IoT endpoints are not limited to sending collected data to the Cloud, but many are also required to perform AI-based procedures, such as voice recognition and touch keys from HMI to failure prediction. For […]
