Renesas Extreme Low-Power SOTB Process Technology Uses Energy Harvesting and Very Low Current Levels to Power Connected Devices
Renesas Electronics unveiled an innovative energy-harvesting embedded controller that can eliminate the need to use or replace batteries in connected devices. Developed based on Renesas' breakthrough SOTB (silicon-on-thin-buried-oxide) process technology, the new embedded controller achieves extreme reduction in both active and standby current consumption, a combination that was not previously possible to achieve in conventional microcontrollers (MCUs).
