Evaluation board for new Renesas MCU range

19 February 2014 Design Automation

Renesas Electronics announced the availability of the new RX111 Promotion Board (RPB), a cost-effective evaluation platform designed to facilitate the evaluation of the manufacturer’s new RX111 microcontrollers (MCUs) in a wide variety of applications.

The board comes with an integrated power measurement tool, enabling the user to easily measure the power consumption of the microcontroller. It comes with all the software and hardware required to develop and evaluate applications on the RX111 MCUs.

Designed to support a broad range of markets, the new RX111 group delivers a combination of low power consumption, on-chip connectivity and performance at attractive price points. Developers can use the RX111 RPB to test microcontroller performance in their low-end 32-bit embedded applications, including mobile healthcare, smart meters, sensors/detectors, and industrial and building automation.

The board includes a Segger J-Link on-chip debug function with a target RX111 microcontroller. It offers both host and peripheral USB connectors, as well as a supercap to allow continued operation when the power is removed. It comes with a number of sample applications, including a low-power demo with a PC graphical interface to allow developers to measure the power consumption of the target RX111 in each of its low-power modes.
