Introduction to RX23E-A RSSK for Industrial Sensor Applications **NEW**
Date Published
March 27, 2020
XMBP16006: This training introduces the Renesas RX23E-A with built-in high-precision analog front end (AFE) and RSSK and other sensors for high-precision system development and evaluation for sensor application equipment that needs increase with the automation of industrial equipment. The RX23E-A achieves the characteristics of the built-in AFE at a level that can replace competitive single AFE ICs, targeting high-end measurement equipment. RMS noise, offset drift, gain drift and other performances have been greatly improved compared to conventional AFEs with built-in microcomputers. At the same time, the built-in RXv2 core supports DSP and FPU to meet both analog and digital needs of sensor application equipment. When using the Renesas Solution Starter Kit (RSSK) of the released RX23E-A, it is possible to easily set up a highly accurate analog evaluation and development environment by making hardware and software into a kit.
