Remote Control (with LCD)

Overview

A remote control (with LCD) is an accessory included with a wide variety of electric household products and appliances. It is particularly necessary for products such as air conditioners, television sets, and audio components because it allows a user to confirm the product's operating state or issue control commands from across a room. Remote controls vary from simple, low-cost units to models with advanced functionality.

Renesas Electronics has an extensive lineup of MCUs with on-chip LCD controllers that are excellent system design choices for remote controls that have LCD panels.

In particular, the 455A Group of 4-bit core QzROM MCUs is suitable for low-cost and low-end LCD remote controls, while the 38D2 Group of 8-bit core QzROM MCUs have an on-chip A/D converter that makes them ideal for remote controls that incorporate a temperature-sensor function. Also, the devices in our 78K0/Lx3, R8C/LAxA Group of low-voltage MCUs with on-chip flash memory are recommended for complex remote control devices that operate multiple products. Renesas Electronics offers a wide range of MCUs that match the requirements of remote controls for a broad span of applications.
