On the SmartEdge platform, the analog front end is the workhorse that converts the analog signals to the digital world. Central to this processing function is the analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
Due to the non-homogenous nature of IIoT requirements, one size does not fit all in the IIoT. ASICs offer many advantages to a customer and working with the correct supplier is key to achieving these benefits.
Low power Wi-Fi technology will make the smart home network a lot simpler by eliminating the need for an expensive hub and solving the issue of protocol fragmentation.
With an ASIC solution, all the condition monitoring circuitry can be placed on the same chip with all the required electronics for the core function of the product.
Debugging is an important part of embedded design; one that requires bridging the hardware/software gap.
Renesas is making this IP accessible to manufacturers looking to develop a custom IC. This will enable wireless broadband access to flourish and bring the internet to every part of the global population.
For the RX MCU family, consumer and industrial applications will continue to be our primary focus in the next few years. We will also focus on IoT-related applications in these two areas.
Here, we show solutions for Precision Time Protocol (PTP) time distribution to virtualized OS with the help of hardware-assisted virtualization (Renesas R-Switch2) to solve challenges quickly.
In the second entry of this series on automotive radar, the basics of automotive radar will be presented: the principle of FMCW radar, radar processing and the architecture of a radar module.
In the third entry of this series on automotive radar, we will analyze the factors which limit the range of detection of automotive radar and how they relate to the performance of the RF IC.
