Renesas Electronics (TSE: 6723), a global semiconductor solution supplier, announced today that its low -power RL78 product family launched a new general -purpose multi -function micro -controller (MCU) -RL78/G15.This device is used to 8 -bit MCU applications with smaller packaging size.The packaging size of 8 to 20 pins contains many peripheral functions and 4-8kb code flash memory. The smallest 8-pin device size is only 3mm x 3mm.These characteristics are designed to maintain smaller system size and reduce the system costs of applications such as industrial, consumption, sensor control, lighting, and inverter.In addition, its maximum working environment temperature of 125 ° C is conducive to optimizing thermal design, covering a wider temperature range, and allowing MCUs to be used near heating components such as inverter motors.

Guan Junyan, vice president of Renesas Electronic MCU Device Solution, said: "The RL78 product family is known for its excellent power efficiency and optimized peripheral function. So far, the shipment has exceeded 71 in the 11 years since its launch.100 million. At present, the monthly shipment is 100 million. Renesas will continue to expand the cost -effective and easy -to -use 8 and 16 -bit MCUs to meet the needs of users. "

Iar Systems Product Management Director Lotta Frimanson said: "We welcome RENESAS's RL78 family products to expand to a wide -end MCU market. As an exclusive partner that supports the entire RL78 product family MCU, IAR is committed to creating a first -class development solution and helping the world.Engineers make full use of the RL78 MCU function and generate fast and compact code to achieve efficient development. "

Development environment

Similar to other RL78 devices, engineers designed with new RL78/G15 can use GUI -based smart configurations to easily generate driving code for peripheral functions.RENESAS also offers a fast prototype development board (FPB) for evaluation, with Arduino Uno and PMOD Type6A interfaces with accessible pins.Only one USB cable is required to debug and program.Developers can obtain rich RL78 development resources through the Arduino library running on FPB, and can also quickly convert ideas into running solutions with a large amount of resources provided by the Arduino ecosystem.

Successful product portfolio

Renesas has developed a 100W USB multi -output power (PD) adapter, which can be powered on various systems.In addition to the RL78/G15 MCU, this high-efficiency power supply also includes a high-performance PFC (power factor correction) controller, an AC/DC controller, and a high-performance DC-DC antihypertensive device.This solution has achieved integrated mobile chargers for users. It can easily charge laptops, tablets, or mobile phones without having to worry about compatibility issues. It is an ideal combination of fast charger, mobile devices, or suitable accessories.This solution is part of Renesas's "Successful Product Port". Renesas "Successful Product Portrait" will optimize and combine mutual compatible RENESAS devices to achieve seamless collaboration to reduce user design risks and shorten the time of listing.Renesas has launched more than 300 "successful product portfolios" based on various products in its product lineup.For more information, please visit: https: // www.renesas.com/win.
