Renesas Electronics is part of a consortium building an OSAT (outsourced semiconductor assembly and test) facility at Sanand near Ahmedabad in Gujarat India. It will only hold around 6.8% of the equity capital, with the bulk going to Mumbai engineering conglomerate CG Power and Industrial Solutions. Thailand OSAT provider Stars Microelectronics will hold 0.9%. “CG’s entry into the semiconductor manufacturing ...
Renesas has developed an AI accelerator for real-time processing of algorithms in robots, and described it at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco. This accelerator appeared in a product a month later The foreseen robot needs conventional processing for planning and control, alongside AI processing at ~100Top/s peak for vision-based environmental recognition, with low power dissipation to avoid ...
NASA, Texas Instruments and others in the space industry have created a qualification standard for using plastic packaged ICs in space: Qualified Manufacturers List Class P – QML Class P. “QML Class P was designed in league with NASA and other industry experts as a plastic packaging standard for space electronic,” TI told Electronics Weekly. The standard is based on ...
Renesas Electronics has introduced a 64bit MCU for 5G IoT edge devices and Gigabit Wi-Fi 7 gateways, part of its RZ/G Series. RZ/G3S can stand-by for 10µW, run Linux, and provides a PCI Express interface “that enables high-speed connectivity with 5G wireless modules”, said the company. “Additionally, the device boasts enhanced security features such as tamper detection to ensure data ...
Renesas has revamped the high-accuracy analogue front-end in its 32bit RX microcontrollers. Implemented in RX23E-B MCUs, the 24bit ΔΣ ADC, depending on configuration, can now convert at up to 125ksample/s – eight times faster than existing RX23E-A MCUs – or achieve a third of the noise – to 0.18µVrms at 1ksample/s. 24bit effective resolution can be achieved at 3.8sample/s. To go ...
Renesas will be using chiplets in its next generation of automotive SoCs, and will add software and tool-compatible automotive microcontrollers. The company revealed this when announcing its 5th generation ‘R-Car’ product range, the first of which will be sampling late next year for cars shipping in 2027. Chiplets are simply die to be used inside multi-die packages. They increase product ...
Renesas has revealed more on the Arm Cortex-M85 based microcontrollers it announced at Embedded World in May, and started shipping them today. Initial parts are general-purpose and consigned to what Renesas has named the RA8M1 group of the RA8 series. Common specs of RA8M1 parts are: 480MHz Cortex-M85 with Helium and TrustZone, 1 or 2Mbyte programme flash, 12kbyte data flash, ...
Renesas Electronics has signed a memorandum of understanding to acquire Sequans Communications, a developer and supplier of 5G and 4G IoT chips and modules. “Renesas will, following consultation of the Sequans’ works council and favourable recommendation by the Sequans Board, commence a tender offer to acquire all outstanding ordinary shares, including American depositary shares [ADS] of Sequans for $3.03 per ...
Working with AMD, Renesas has created a power supply design, using radiation-tolerant ICs and GaN power devices, for an AMD space-grade ‘Versal adaptive SoC’ – the XQRVC1902, a processor with 400 AI inferencing tiles, dual Arm Cortex-A72 cores, dual Cortex-R5F cores, programmable logic and memory. “ISLVERSALDEMO2Z integrates key radiation-hardened components for power management,” said Renesas. “These ICs are designed to ...
Tata Consultancy Services and Renesas Electronics are to collaborate on radio frequency, digital and mixed-signal design, and software development, in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. “The innovation centre will combine TCS’ expertise in IoT, and knowledge of the manufacturing, telecom and automotive industries, with Renesas’ semiconductor designs and embedded software support,” according to Renesas. “By joining hands and leveraging their strengths, the ...
