RX Family
Renesas Synergy™ Platform		 Coming soon -
  • Diagnostic function is performed by calling API functions. And capacitive touch sensors not only measure capacitance but also diagnose their own internal circuit. See the Application Note: RA Family, RL78 Family, RX Family, Renesas Synergy™ Platform CTSU Self Test Software for detailed information.
  • Accelerate the acquisition of IEC/UL60730 certification for final products which support capacitive touch function by using together with Renesas Functional Safety Solutions for Home Appliances. (You can also use your own program instead of Renesas Functional Safety Solutions for Home Appliances.)
  • Easily set the diagnostic function using Development Assistance Tool for Capacitive Touch Sensors：QE for Capacitive Touch, create a project, set the configuration and output a sample program.
