Renesas Introduces 22nm Microcontroller
Renesas Electronics announced that it has produced microcontrollers (MCUs) based on advanced 22nm process technology. The use of advanced process technology provides customers with superior performance while reducing core voltage and therefore power consumption. The advanced process technology also integrates various functions, including RF. In addition, advanced process nodes use less die area to achieve the same functionality, integrating more peripherals and memory in a smaller die.
Produced using the new 22nm process is Renesas' popular RA series 32-bit ARM Cortex-M microcontroller family. The new wireless MCUs offer Bluetooth 5.3 low power consumption (LE) and integrate software-defined radio (SDR), providing customers with a resilient solution when developing longer lifecycle products. Whether during development or after deployment, application software or Bluetooth functionality can be updated through upgrades to ensure compliance with the latest specification version. End-product manufacturers can utilize the full functionality of previously released low-power Bluetooth specifications.
Whether designing a device for a wayfinding application using Bluetooth 5.1 Angle of Arrival (AoA)/Angle of Departure (AoD) functionality or adding low-power stereo audio transmission to a product by employing the Bluetooth 5.2 synchronization channel, developers now need only one device to support these features.
Renesas' MCU leadership is based on a broad range of product lines and process technologies," said Roger Wendelken, senior vice president of Renesas' IoT and Infrastructure Business Unit. We are pleased to announce the first 22nm product in the RA MCU family, which will be ready for the next generation of products and help customers validate their designs while ensuring long-term availability.
Renesas has combined the new 22nm MCUs with compatible components in its products to create a variety of successful product combinations. These winning portfolios are technically vetted system architectures from inter-compatible components that work well together to optimize low-risk designs for faster time-to-market.
