SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 11, 2015 — Renesas Electronics America Inc., a premier provider of advanced semiconductor solutions, will showcase several of its trusted power technologies at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC), March 16-18, taking place at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. Visit Renesas in booth #1404 to see the solutions in action and learn more about the use of Renesas’ battery management and power solutions to achieve efficient operation in a variety of applications, including mobile devices, industrial motor drives, electric vehicles, and inverters for solar and wind applications.

Renesas Solutions at APEC

Battery Management:

Renesas battery management solutions are built around our fuel-gauge ICs, which are solutions in a package that include an embedded low-power RL78 MCU with an analog front end including MOSFET drivers, a fuel-gauging algorithm, and authentication options. Our fuel gauges are available in options for battery packs from 1S to 10S+. They are often bundled with our compact, ultra-low Rss (on) common drain MOSFETs to form a compact, efficient, and accurate battery management solution.

Power Management ICs for DC/DC:

Renesas has expanded its portfolio of Simple DC/DC Power ICs, offering wide voltage inputs up to 16V input and 30V input, making them well suited for a variety of embedded processing solutions. These include a high-efficiency synchronous buck regulator that delivers up to 3A continuous current to loads. In addition, these Simple Power ICs have several benefits, including automatic low-power mode, low quiescent current, and an optional battery backup function to reduce power consumption. The battery backup feature is used in applications where critical power rails are needed when there is a power outage.

For higher power DC/DC conversion where space is limited, such as in solid-state drives,Renesas' miniPOL lineup provides best-in-class power density, compactness, and efficiency for DC to DC conversion from a 12V input rail.
