Renesas Electronics announced the launch of 10 new "winning product portfolios" that combine Renesas's broad range of products -- including electric vehicle (EV) charging, dashboard controls and low-voltage converter capabilities for traction motors, among other applications. The new organization allows Renesas to leverage scale by facilitating cross-selling opportunities and wider user coverage. The new "Portfolio of Successful Products" is the first to combine automotive and non-automotive products.
Chris Allexandre, Senior Vice President and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of Renesas Electronics, said: "These 'portfolio of successful products' are outstanding examples of how Renesas can leverage synergies from a new organizational structure. By combining Renesas's deep experience in technology, markets and customers, we can deliver solutions at the best value for the large, rapid growth opportunities in all geographies."
The 10 new "winning Product portfolios" include the following solutions:
● OCPP Interface Card (OIC) for smart EV Charger
Open Charging Protocol (OCPP) is used for communication between networked charging stations and networked charging management systems. Today, charging stations can connect to OCPP, but with this new solution, stand-alone EV chargers will also be able to connect to OCPP servers to authorize vehicles, remotely manage charger configurations, get real-time alerts, and more. This gives users and manufacturers the flexibility to use any charger for any EV system that supports multiple charging technologies. This "portfolio of success" includes Renesas's Bluetooth Low Power , Wi-Fi and MCU products.
● 3 kw non-on-board EV charger
High power non-on-board chargers are functional modules that support battery pack solutions. The charger combination operates within a universal input range, using a high-end MCU to control power factor correction (PFC) and manage zero voltage switches (ZVS). This "portfolio of successful products" includes Renesas's MCU, analog, power and PWM controller products.
● Connected Android dashboard
This networked cockpit design provides developers with all the modules and peripherals needed for full cockpit application development. The custom board comes with a variety of wireless connectivity options including Wi-Fi, LTE and GPS. Information from outside the vehicle CAN be fed via dual CAN/FD communication channels. It supports three display connections and a variety of startup options, support for Android-based infotainment systems, and dashboard apps via FreeRTOS. This "portfolio of successful products" includes Renesas R-Car Automotive System-on-chip (SoC), power management devices, timing products, Wi-Fi, modules and Bluetooth products.
Other "winning portfolios" include:
● Charging and communication units for electric vehicle charging piles
● Vehicle control unit
● Low-cost TFT dashboard with telematics
● Low voltage inverter for 2/3 wheel traction motor control
● Vehicle telematics box module
● High-performance electric vehicle charging wall box solution
● Portable electric car charger
