Understanding Linear Regulators and their Key Performance Parameters


Low-dropout regulators, commonly known as LDOs, are used extensively in a wide variety of electronic applications across many different industries. An LDO is generally perceived as a simple and inexpensive way to regulate and control an output voltage that is delivered from a higher input voltage supply. However, cost and simplicity are not the only reason for their widespread use. In fact, tod... » read more

Isolation Device Solution For Intelligent Power Module (IPM) Drive To Realize High-Accuracy Industrial Equipment In High Noise Environment


As efforts to protect the environment have advanced, the use of inverters in industrial applications and green energy systems have continued to grow rapidly as a way to achieve low-power motor control and reduce power conversion loss. In recent years, this demand has been increasing more and more in relation to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Further improvement in accuracy and downsizing... » read more

Zone-ECU Virtualization Solution Platform


The high complexity of future vehicle systems will need to move away from today’s distributed automotive E/E architecture towards a more centralized E/E structure based on less but much more powerful ECUs, instead of many individual control entities. A Zone-oriented architecture moves the integration of numerous functions and services into one ECU. The resulting network concept must deal w... » read more

Functional Safety In Industrial Automation


As technology advances and continues to improve, functional safety demands critical consideration across most industrial automation equipment and is now starting to become increasingly important in numerous other applications including service robotics, medical, and building automation in order to prevent adverse effects due to equipment failure in addition to preventing accidents. Set manufact... » read more

Image Processing For Vision AI


Recent years have seen an increasing need for Vision AI applications using AI to enable real-time image recognition. Vision AI, which substitutes AI for human visual recognition, requires optimal image processing. Renesas has released RZ/V2M as mid-class, and RZ/V2L as an entry class, Vision AI microprocessors (MPUs). Both products are equipped with DRP-AI which is Dynamically Reconfigurable Pr... » read more
