Expanded MCU lineup for high-temperature-tolerant motor control applications

Renesas Electronics Corporation has expanded its RX24T and RX24U Groups of 32-bit MCUs to incorporate new high-temperature-tolerant models for motor-control applications that need an extended operating temperature range. The new RX24T G Version and RX24U G Version support operating temperatures ranging from -40C to +105C, while managing the high functionality, high speed, and energy efficiency of the RX24T and RX24U MCUs. “Through the IoT, home appliances and industrial machinery are attaining greater functionality based on network connectivity, and user interface enhancements and effective use of the limited interior space as well as the higher temperature environments are becoming major issues,” said Akira Denda, vice president of Renesas’ Industrial Automation Business Division, Industrial Solution Business Unit. “The newest members of the RX24T and RX24U Groups provide the excellent function and performance that RX users have come to expect from their MCUs while addressing the heat tolerance requirements to support safe and flexible equipment design.” Software can be produced using the RX24T and RX24U CPU cards coupled with the 24V Motor Control Evaluation Kit which allows developers to build motor control applications in less time.
