TDK to showcase ultra-low-power sensing and processing solution powered by Renesas for next-generation IoT, industrial, and portable applications

TDK Corporation announces the expansion of collaboration with Renesas and will present a demonstration of its new ultra-low-power sensing and processing reference design. The solution combines Renesas’ RA2L2 microcontroller (MCU) with the InvenSense SmartMotion^® ICM-42688-P 6-axis MEMS MotionTracking^® device. This collaboration delivers a powerful platform for industrial, home electronics, and IoT applications, offering advanced sensing and processing in a compact, energy-efficient solution.

The new board of reference design combines the Renesas RA2L2 MCU—the industry’s first MCU to support the USB Type-C Release 2.4 standard, featuring ultra-low power consumption and a 48-MHz Arm^® Cortex^®-M23 processor—with the InvenSense ICM-42688-P, a high-performance 6-axis MEMS MotionTracking^® device that integrates a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer with a noise floor respectively of 2.8 mdps/√Hz, accelerometer noise of 70 µg/√Hz. This innovative solution delivers precise motion sensing, making it ideal for a broad range of applications, including portable devices, PC peripherals, industrial systems, white goods, AR/VR controllers, head-mounted displays, wearables, sports equipment, robotics, and IoT solutions (more info).
