Renesas Electronics Intellectual Property for Capacitive Touch Sensing Delivers Industry-Leading Performance for Human Machine Interface Applications

Renesas Electronics Corporation, July 15th announced development of innovative new intellectual property (IP) that implements industry-leading capacitive touch sensing technology suitable for home appliances, and healthcare equipment, such as blood pressure and blood glucose meters. The IP achieves high-touch sensitivity five times superior compared to that of Renesas’ R8C/3xT microcontrollers (MCUs), as well as high-noise immunity allowing the technology to pass strict noise tests. Furthermore, for the first time, Renesas IP supports the mutual capacitance method which is more reliable and versatile than the common self-capacitance method. Renesas will also provide development tools to make application development easier.
