About Renesas’ SOTB process technology
The unique SOTB process technology originated by Renesas realizes extreme reduction of both active and standby current, which has typically been a trade-off and is not possible to achieve in conventional MCU process technologies. On the silicon substrate, an oxide film (BOX: buried oxide) is buried under a thin silicon layer on the wafer substrate. No impurities are doped to the thin silicon layer which makes it possible to maintain stable operation at low voltages. The devices can therefore deliver high computing performance with excellent power efficiency. At the same time, the potential of the silicon substrate below the BOX layer is controlled with a back-bias circuit to reduce leakage currents to further suppress standby power consumption.
Note 1: MIP (memory-in-pixel) LCDs are display devices that do not require power to retain a displayed image during standby, making them very well suited for extreme low power applications.
Availability
Samples of the new R7F0E embedded controller are available now for beta customers, and samples are scheduled to be available for general customers from July 2019. Mass production is scheduled to start from October 2019.
Demonstration at electronica 2018
Renesas will showcase several energy harvesting technology demonstrations featuring the new R7F0E embedded controller from November 13 to 16, at electronica 2018 (Hall B4 at booth #556). Visitors can experience the new market of endpoint intelligence using energy harvesting.
