White Goods
Renesas Technology microcontrollers are being widely used in home appliances around Europe. The
reason for this is Renesas Technology’s complete command of embedded Flash technology, including
high-yield mass production, resulting in low cost Flash microcontrollers such as the H8/306x series,
H8S/21xx or H8S/231x, 2x. Embedded Flash speeds up time-to-market and reduces cost of develop-
ment and inventory control. Renesas Technology and its partners also offer software solutions and
system know-how relevant in white goods, such as embedded Internet solutions and consumer level
motor control solutions.
Gas-Water-Electricity Metering
Renesas Technology is the number one supplier of microcontrollers into metering applications, both
worldwide and in Europe. Renesas Technology H8 is being used by virtually all the major European
manufacturers in this area, because of our advanced low-power technology in both, 8- and 16-bit
microcontrollers. Another reason is high CPU performance and peripheral integration, which allows the
implementation of entire meters without a specialised external ASIC. For example, the H8S/223x
series has Flash memory and a complete peripheral set, including 32KHz subclock, excellent timers,
4 x SCI, IIC and Renesas’ popular Data Transfer Controller (DTC) - a versatile pseudo DMA function
which can serve almost all peripherals.
Electronic Point of Sales (EPOS)
Due to a combination of legal changes affecting liability and the wish to increase efficiency, retailers
and banks around the globe are driving the EPOS market to grow fast. Renesas Technology has
always enjoyed success in this market, mainly due to its best-in-class ISO7816-3 implementation on
almost all H8S(X) devices. EPOS applications require high CPU performance to calculate encryption
algorithms, many serial ports (e.g. for SAM's), USB and embedded Flash (for security) so Renesas
Technology developed devices such as the H8S/221x, H8S/237x and the H8SX/1664x to deliver exact-
ly this.
Factory and Building Automation
Building Automation (BA) applications such as HVAC, security or smoke detectors requires a high level
of connectivity in order to be able to connect a large number of sensors and actuators around the hou-
se and with the central unit controlling the system. Hence H8 products – e.g. the H8S/236x - offer
numerous serial ports supporting many modes, USB (H8S/221x, H8SX/166x) and external busses for
connecting ASIC, for example for additional Profibus connectivity. A Zigbee solution is under develop-
ment. Many applications in the area of building automation also need low power, which is offered by
all H8S/22xx products.
Health Monitoring
Growing concerns about one’s health and fitness are driving growth of electronic aids in this area.
Devices such as blood glucose or pressure meters, heart rate sensors, muscle stimulators and anti
apnoe alarms as well as fitness electronics, require low power consumption with 32KHz subclock as
offered by H8S/223x. H8S/221x also feature USB connectivity to enable connecting these medical
aids to computers, for example for long term data logging and analysis.
Distribution
Renesas Technology Europe has for many years enjoyed tremendous success in the medium-sized
industrial customer arena, greatly helped by our well-trained and highly motivated distribution net-
work. Our European distributors have over 50 certified application engineers to help with technical
questions and of course they offer excellent logistics services, as this is one of their core competen-
cies. Several distributors across Europe also offer value-added services, such as Flash-microcontroller
programming, development outsourcing, seminars and some even possess their own evaluation tools.
