When looking at applications requiring low latency and low power consumption, the successive approximation register (SAR) ADC provides the best overall solution versus other architectures.
In this “Ask the Experts” blog, we look at the current – and future – role and impact that Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) technology will have for cars, drivers and the automotive market in general.
Suited for IoT applications, the SmartBond TINY Bluetooth LE SoC balances a small chip size and power footprint, and boasts performance levels unmatched by anything else on the market.

On the SmartEdge platform, the analog front end is the workhorse that converts the analog signals to the digital world. Central to this processing function is the analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
Due to the non-homogenous nature of IIoT requirements, one size does not fit all in the IIoT. ASICs offer many advantages to a customer and working with the correct supplier is key to achieving these benefits.
With an ASIC solution, all the condition monitoring circuitry can be placed on the same chip with all the required electronics for the core function of the product.
Renesas is making this IP accessible to manufacturers looking to develop a custom IC. This will enable wireless broadband access to flourish and bring the internet to every part of the global population.
