Renesas Electronics intros R8C MCUs with USB Host/Function and USB on-the-go support

SANTA CLARA, USA: Renesas Electronics Corp. has introduced its first low-end flash microcontrollers (MCUs) with a built-in USB 2.0 (Universal Serial Bus) host/function controller, designed for consumer electronics such as PC peripherals, mobile devices and healthcare equipment.

The new MCUs are part of the R8C Family, and include the R8C/34K and R8C/3MK Groups, which incorporate a USB host/function controller; and the R8C/34U and R8C/3MU Groups with a USB function-only controller.

Taking advantage of its proven track record for mid- to high-end MCUs with built-in USB controllers, Renesas Electronics has responded to market needs by releasing the new low-end MCUs that incorporate a USB host/function controller.

In the R8C/34K Group, the USB peripheral also can be configured for On-The-Go (OTG) functionality to provide greater flexibility and simplify system design. The new devices offer variants ranging from 32 to 128 kilobytes (KB) with up to 10KB of SRAM, and 4KB of data flash for data storage, and are offered in a 7x7 millimeter (mm) or 6×6 mm package.
