Renesas plans to boost capacity for high-end MCUs by 50% to the equivalent of 40,000 200mm wafers a month, mainly by securing more foundry capacity. It plans to increase capacity for low-end MCUs by about 70% to over 30,000 wafers per month, mainly by expanding in-house facilities. “We have been increasing supply, but demand has also been strong as manufacturers make ...

Researchers at Yokohama National University have created a liquid-based tilt sensor that only needs simple interface electronics – some 10MΩ resistors and a Microchip ATmega microcontroller in the demonstrator. Although simple in theory – an air bubble and conductive liquid sealed in a chamber surrounded by electrodes – electronic levels are more complex in practice. ...
