TOKYO, Japan ― Renesas and Fixstars Corporation are jointly developing tools for autonomous drive and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that enable software simulation and optimization, specifically for the R-Car system-on-chip (SoC) devices from Renesas.

TOKYO. “High levels of integration and the flexibility of programmability helps manufacturers reduce component counts, saving board space and power,” said Susie Inouye, Principal Analyst at Databeans.  With this in mind, Renesas Electronics Corporation released its VersaClock 7 configurable clock generators with 8-12 differing outputs, an embedded crystal oscillator, 150fs typical RMS 12k-20MHz phase jitter, 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V flexible power rails, digital holdover and hitless switching, SPI / I2C/ SMBUS interface support, PCIe Gen 1-6 support, and up to 27 customizations of external EEPROM. All of this is included in a 5 x 5mm, 6 x 6 mm QFN form factor designed for robust computing, wired infrastructure, and data centers.

MUNICH, Germany and TOKYO, Japan ― Renesas Electronics announced the RAA270205 4x4-channel, 76-81GHz high-definition transceiver, a MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) transceiver designed for imaging radar, long-range forward-looking radar, 4D radar, and corner and central-processing radar architectures commonly known as  “satellite” automotive radar systems.

MUNICH, GERMANY & TOKYO, JAPAN. Renesas Electronics Corporation is expanding its low-power WAN product line as part of its strategy to deliver connectivity devices used for smart cities, smart homes, medical devices and industrial applications. The RYZ024A supports Cat-M1 and NB-IoT internet connectivity independent of a gateway, consuming 1µA (microamp) in power savings mode. The RYZ024A supports extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) with an extended voltage range of 2.2V to 5.5V, making it suitable for battery-powered applications.

OTTAWA, Canada – GaN Systems announced that the company’s power transistors are now powering Renesas Electronics’ new automotive 48V/12V Bidirectional DC/DC Converter to provide power density improvements. Renesas’ converter utilizes GaN Systems’ GS61008P, a 100V enhancement mode GaN-on-silicon power transistor designed to enable a 46% reduction in system size.

TOKYO-- Renesas Electronics Corporation announced that its 8A34001 System Synchronizer for IEEE 1588 has been integrated in the AMD Zynq® UltraScale+™ RFSoC DFE ZCU670 Evaluation Kit and reference design for 5G New Radio (5G NR).

The embedded community has been talking a lot about AI at the Edge. Apparently, it’s not just talk, as Renesas recently acquired Reality AI. That acquisition lets them leverage a large customer base as well as provides access to what the company is calling a "leading-edge toolset and series of AI models."
