The demand for smart locks is a rapidly growing segment for the home and building automation industries. These locks need to be able to communicate with a smart home or building via fingerprint recognition and/or with a mobile phone using a common wireless communication protocol such as Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi, or near-field communication (NFC). The GreenPAK™ family of cost-effective NVM programmable devices provides features such as a motor driver and LED control. The high-performance, low pin count, 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) is available to design in a fingerprint module for algorithm support.
System Benefits:
Using Renesas’ Quick Connect Platform, developers can build a rapid prototype that scales from a simple fingerprint-accessible lock to a Wi-Fi, and NFC-enabled door lock. By leveraging industry-standard interfaces, it’s seamless to mix and match processing, sensing, and connectivity products based on application needs. This video showcases how you can build a modular smart lock, with multiple ways to grant door access, in just minutes!
Renesas' Lab on the Cloud is an online environment where Renesas solutions, including popular evaluation boards, winning combinations and software, are hosted in a remote lab that customers access and test online.
This smart door lock solution uses AWS IoT to operate a door and monitor the door’s status, such as opened or closed. Users can control these operations using a mobile app.
Renesas' complementary product portfolios of Analog + Power + Embedded Processing + Connectivity work together to deliver comprehensive solutions. Our product experts have developed "Winning Combinations," compelling product combinations that help our customers accelerate their designs and get to market faster.
