RX130

This video introduces the RX130 Capacitive Touch Evaluation System Renesas Solution Starter Kit.
The performance and functions of the RX130 equipped with Renesas' second-generation touch IP technology can be evaluated easily using just this kit. This kit makes it easy for users to develop capacitive touch applications.

Properly detect touch events without malfunctioning even in running water.

This capacitive touch solution demonstrates improved waterproof capabilities, which were difficult for conventional capacitive touch solutions. In conventional capacitive touch solutions, since it was difficult to differentiate between the change in capacitance due to a touch by a finger and the change in capacitance due to contact with water, false detections due to water were a major issue. Renesas' waterproof capacitive touch solution enables capacitive touch to be used in scenarios that were previously avoided due to the high probability of hands being wet, such as electronic devices used in the kitchen or bathroom, or outdoors. Capacitive touch interfaces can now be used in kitchen appliances, washing machines, bathroom appliances, outdoor equipment such as vending machines that could become wet due to rain, and factory and agricultural equipment that handle water. This demo uses Renesas' second-generation touch IP technology and a combination of mutual capacitive methods and Renesas' original algorithm to realize correct touch detection without malfunctioning even with water flowing over the electrode.

Wood, stone, cloth, and paper may be used as cover panels of capacitive touch sensors.

This capacitive touch solution makes it possible to revolutionize design in a restriction-free (material-free and design-free) environment. In recent years, home electronics and other products have been adopting capacitive touch interfaces to improve design and durability. The demand for better demand is becoming especially strong. These solutions enable wood, stone, cloth, paper, and other materials that were previously not used for operating panels of electronic devices, to be used as cover panels for capacitive touch sensors instead of traditional resin materials such as glass or acrylic.

3D gesture demo applies Renesas' capacitive touch solution to realize an HMI that detects gesture motions (up and down, left and right, and forward and back) of a hand in three-dimensional space.
