Ultra low-power RL78 MCU har indbygget LCD controller
Renesas lancerer RL78/L12 serien af 'ultimative' low-power MCU'er med on-chip LCD-controller, der reducerer strømforbruget med omkring 30 procent i forhold til tidligere generationer (in english).
Renesas Electronics has announced the RL78/L12 Group of ultimate-low-power microcontrollers (MCUs) with on-chip liquid crystal display (LCD) controller that reduce current consumption by approximately 30 percent compared to earlier Renesas products.
The new 16-bit MCUs are designed for products equipped with small LCD panels, including portable household appliances, healthcare devices, building management systems, and industrial applications, that require improved user interfaces and ultimate low power.
To enable the design of improved power-efficient systems that incorporate enhanced human-machine interfaces, Renesas developed the ultimate low-power RL78/L12 Group of MCUs. The new MCUs combine proven LCD control technology from Renesas with the low power consumption and high performance of the RL78 Family of 16-bit MCUs.
The new line-up complements Renesas' family of non-LCD RL78 devices, providing designers an expanded platform to innovate and leverage development investments. The RL78/L12 Group consists of 18 product versions with pin count ranging from 32- to 64-pins, and on-chip flash memory capacities ranging from 8 kilobytes (KB) to 32 KB. This new line continues Renesas' commitment to enabling a smart society by delivering power-efficient solutions for a range of portable applications.
