New 16-bit MCUs provide space-saving option for touch control
RL78/G16 microcontrollers from Renesas are well suited to home appliances thanks to their high temperature tolerance and high touch sensitivity, supporting placement near to heat and noise generators such as motors.
The RL78/G16 Fast Prototyping Board is easy to use – simply plug in a USB cable to write/debug a program and start evaluation without any additional tools.
The board, which is based on a 32-pin RL78/G16 MCU, also enables advanced debugging using the E2 emulator Lite or the traditional E2 emulator. The board is supplied with Arduino Uno, Pmod™ and Grove interfaces, and has high scalability with access to all pins on the MCU. It is equipped with two touch buttons and one touch slider.
32-bit MCUs feature advanced security capabilities for IoT devices
Renesas RA6M5 Group microcontrollers, which can operate as a secure element, support applications that require secure over-the-air updating thanks to their cryptography accelerators, resistance to cyber-attack, and memory block-swap feature.
