Renesas Electronics and Panthronics collaborate for IoT development
Two companies, Renesas Electronics and Pantrhronics are bringing wireless power and NFC technology respectively to develop consumer, industrial, and IoT markets.
Renesas is pairing its wireless charging ICs with Panthronics’ near-field communications (NFC) readers and controllers to accelerate adoption. Panthronics says that its NFC solutions deliver highest power and connectivity for wireless charging applications due to the patented sine wave driver architecture. Renesas delivers cutting-edge wireless power solutions both for the receivers used in smartphones and other applications, and the transmitters inside charging pads and automotive in-car applications.
Dr. Amit Bavisi, vice president of Engineering, IoT and Infrastructure at Renesas, said: “We believe that our combined technical excellence and differentiated IP will allow us to design turn-key, smallest and highest performance wireless power solutions, which our customers crave for their next-generation IoT endpoint products.”
“This collaboration enables Renesas’ broad range of customers and expansive partner ecosystem to directly benefit from our ground-breaking NFC solutions,” said Mark Dickson, chief marketing officer, Panthronics.
Both companies are exploring further collaboration and integration opportunities with Panthronics NFC products and Renesas microcontrollers, microprocessors, analogue, power, sensor and connectivity products.
Panthronics was founded in 2014. The semiconductor company provides differentiated wireless silicon and software designed from the ground up for security and power applications.
Renesas Electronics delivers trusted embedded design with semiconductors to enable billions of connected, intelligent devices to enhance the way people work and live. Operating in the microcontroller, analogue, power and SoC product markets, Renesas provides comprehensive solutions for a range of automotive, industrial, home electronics, office automation, and information communication technology applications.
