Renesas Develops SoC Technologies for Automotive Multi-Domain ECUs Essential for the SDV Era

　　Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, has developed three System-on-Chip (SoC) technologies for automotive multi-domain electronic control units (ECUs). They feature advanced AI processing capabilities and chiplet functions, serving as the core technology platform for next-generation automotive electrical/electronic (E/E) architectures. Renesas presented the results at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference 2026 (ISSCC 2026), held February 15–19 in San Francisco, USA.　　In the age of software-defined vehicles (SDVs), automotive SoCs require advanced performance to run multiple applications simultaneously and must offer scalability through chiplets. They must also meet the functional safety requirements of automotive SoCs. As multi-domain SoCs powering central computing are growing larger and more complex, maintaining automotive-grade quality is becoming more difficult. With increased performance in advanced SoCs, power consumption also rises, making improvements in power efficiency and safety vital. To meet these needs, Renesas has developed the following new technologies.　　1. Chiplet architecture that supports functional safety　　To meet the functional safety requirements of automotive SoCs, Renesas has developed a new, proprietary architecture that supports ASIL D even in a chiplet configuration. By combining the standard die-to-die UCIe interface with a proprietary RegionID mechanism, the architecture prevents interference with hardware resources, even when numerous applications run simultaneously, thereby achieving Freedom from Interference (FFI).　　Conventional UCIe interfaces lack functionality to transmit RegionIDs between dies. Renesas developed a method for mapping RegionIDs into physical address space, encoding them into the UCIe region, and transmitting them. This enables safe access control through the memory management unit (MMU) and real-time cores, and meets functional safety requirements across chiplets. Additionally, by maintaining bandwidth from processors to the memory bus, the UCIe interface was confirmed through testing to achieve a high transmission speed of 51.2 GB/s, approaching the upper limit of intra-SoC transfer speeds. This technology provides both scalability and safety for high-performance automotive SoCs.　　2. Advanced AI processing capabilities and automotive-grade quality　　Automotive-grade quality is vital for SDV systems. Renesas has created a 3 nm SoC design that improves the performance of neural processing units (NPUs) for AI processing, while maintaining automotive-grade quality. In recent years, NPUs have been growing larger, with their area expanding 1.5-fold compared to previous generations. This has led to increased clock latency between shared clock sources and individual circuits. To address this problem, Renesas has redesigned the clock architecture by splitting up clock pulse generators (CPGs), which in past designs were module-level units, and placing mini-CPGs (mCPGs) at the sub-module level. This greatly reduces clock latency and meets timing requirements.　　However, multi-layer mCPGs complicate test clock synchronization, which is critical for achieving zero defects in automotive applications. Renesas has integrated test circuits into the hierarchical CPG architecture and unified the signal path for user clocks and test clocks. The new design also synchronizes upper- and lower-level mCPGs under a single clock source in test mode. This makes unified phase adjustment possible. As a result, Renesas has been able to achieve quality aligned with zero-defect expectations, even for large-scale SoCs, providing the high reliability required for next-generation SDV automotive SoCs.　　3. Advanced power control and monitoring for improved power efficiency and safety　　To achieve the high level of performance required for automotive SoCs with improved power efficiency and safety, Renesas has developed advanced power gating technology that uses over 90 power domains. It enables precise power control, from several milliwatts to several tens of watts, depending on operating conditions. Furthermore, Renesas has split power switches (PSWs) into ring PSWs and row PSWs to reduce IR drops (voltage drops) associated with increasing current density from smaller process geometries. When power is turned on, the ring PSW suppresses rush currents. Then the row PSW equalizes impedance within the domain. Together, these reduce IR drops by roughly 13% compared with conventional designs.　　To meet ASIL D functional safety standards, the dual core lock step (DCLS) configuration controls the master and checker cores with independent power switches and controllers. With this design, even if one side fails, the failure can be detected through lockstep operation. Furthermore, loopback monitoring is performed for each PSW's gate signal, so OFF states are detected when a failure occurs. A digital voltage meter (DVMON), which is highly resistant to temperature drift, is used for voltage monitoring. This improves aging tolerance by 1.4 mV. These technologies enable high-performance automotive SoCs that offer both power efficiency and safety.　　These new technologies are being used in Renesas' R-Car X5H SoC for automotive multi-domain ECUs. With R-Car X5H, users can accelerate the evolution of SDVs while ensuring safety and enabling autonomous driving, digital cockpit and more.　　About Renesas Electronics Corporation　　Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723) empowers a safer, smarter and more sustainable future where technology helps make our lives easier.

NOVOSENSE and Inovance Automotive Co-Develop IC Solutions for Next-Generation Electric Drive Platforms

　　NOVOSENSE Microelectronics announced that two highly integrated ICs—an isolated sensing IC and a logic ASC IC—developed in close collaboration with Inovance Automotive, a leading supplier of intelligent electric vehicle components and solutions, have entered mass production on Inovance Automotive’s next-generation electric drive (e-drive) platform. The customized IC solutions offer higher integration and optimized performance, supporting the ongoing shift toward more integrated electric drive systems while enabling designs that meet increasingly stringent functional safety requirements.　　Conventional discrete electric drive designs rely on widely distributed components and complex wiring, often resulting in larger system size, higher power losses, slower response, and constrained reliability. As electric vehicles continue to demand longer driving range and higher output power, electric drive architectures are moving rapidly toward multi-in-one and highly integrated designs. In this context, semiconductor solutions must deliver greater functional integration while maintaining accuracy, reliability, and functional safety margins within limited space, without constraining system-level design flexibility.　　Building on more than a decade of experience in motor controller system architectures and functional safety, Inovance Automotive proactively defined the key functional and performance requirements for the isolated sensing IC and logic ASC IC at an early stage of development. In response to these requirements, NOVOSENSE integrated high-voltage LDO, isolated sensing amplifier, and isolated comparator into a single isolated sensing IC. This integration significantly reduces external component while enabling high-precision isolated voltage sensing, fast OV/UV protection, and more compact electric drive designs.　　The customized logic ASC IC further integrates multiple logic functions and supports frequency detection, enabling centralized handling of interface-related logic. This approach simplifies interface design, improves overall system integration, and supports more compact inverter layouts. At the same time, it helps reduce BOM cost and provides a solid foundation for optimizing functional safety architectures in electric drive and traction inverter systems.　　By replacing mature discrete circuits with integrated IC solutions, the collaboration delivers clear system-level benefits.　　Simplified architectures and fewer components reduce potential failure points and improve overall product robustness.　　Higher integration lowers PCB area requirements, creating additional headroom for increased power density.　　Standardized IC solutions also streamline development by reducing design and validation effort, helping shorten development cycles and accelerate time-to-market.　　"Electric drive systems are entering a phase where higher integration is becoming essential, and progress at the chip level increasingly translates into system-level advantages," said Zheng Chao, Director of the R&D Center at Inovance Automotive. "This collaboration combines our strengths in electric drive systems with NOVOSENSE’s expertise in automotive semiconductors. More importantly, it reflects an important capability upgrade for Inovance Automotive—we are not only developing high-performance power electronics products, but also participating from the outset in defining system architectures and core chips. We look forward to continuing our work with NOVOSENSE to shape next-generation electric drive platforms and deliver more competitive system solutions to OEMs."　　"NOVOSENSE and Inovance Automotive have established a strong foundation for collaboration," said Ye Jian, Product Line Director at NOVOSENSE. "This project demonstrates both our customer's confidence in our technology and our application-driven approach to innovation. By drawing on our long-standing expertise in isolation and interface technologies, we will continue to deliver high-precision, high-performance, and high-reliability IC solutions to support Inovance Automotive's next-generation electric drive platforms."　　NOVOSENSE's Isolation+ portfolio covers digital isolator, isolated sensing, isolated driver, isolated power, and isolated interface, with cumulative shipments exceeding two billion units as of October 2025. The company also offers a broad automotive interface portfolio—including CAN, LIN, SerDes, logic ICs, and level shifters—providing customers with one-stop automotive-grade isolation and interface solutions.

How Cat.1 bis Technology Solves the "Mobility and Endurance" Challenges of Smart Devices

　　The Internet of Things (IoT) is entering its second phase — a shift from "multi-point connectivity" to "intelligent scenarios."　　Traditional smart home devices are moving beyond indoor environments into outdoor spaces that lack stable power and network access. Asset tracking is expanding from localized monitoring to global roaming, while AI-powered wearables are pushing the limits of battery technology as computing demands rise.　　To address these challenges, the global Cat.1 bis standard is emerging as a key enabler. With its streamlined integrated design, ultra-low microamp-level power consumption, and global single-SKU compatibility, Cat.1 bis provides a breakthrough solution for mobility and endurance in next-generation smart devices.　　New Battlefield for IPCs: From "Fixed Sentries" to "Mobile Detectives"　　IPCs (Internet Protocol Cameras) are evolving rapidly from traditional indoor home security systems toward mobile, portable, and multi-scenario applications. Users now demand outdoor devices that can operate in "off-grid, weak-network" environments and portable cameras capable of capturing "brilliant moments" anytime, anywhere.　　However, once IPCs go outdoors, unstable networks and limited battery capacity become major constraints. How can video transmission remain stable during movement? How can a camera stay on standby 24/7 without missing key footage or draining the battery? These challenges set extremely high standards for module size, mobility, and power management.　　To cope with fluctuating networks in mobile scenarios, the new-generation Cat.1 bis technology introduces bandwidth adaptation, which dynamically adjusts bitrate based on real-time signal quality. This significantly improves bandwidth utilization and ensures smooth video streaming even in weak network conditions.　　Meanwhile, to tackle battery anxiety, smart detection and flexible recording technologies are being deployed. A Cat.1 module can stay connected while only triggering recording upon detecting anomalies or critical events. This "microamp standby, millisecond wake-up" mechanism captures every key moment while extending standby time exponentially.　　Asset Tracking: Building a Truly Global Network　　As global supply chains expand, goods increasingly travel across continents. Traditional tracking solutions require different hardware models for each country’s frequency bands — resulting in SKU fragmentation, higher R&D costs, and complex inventory management. Furthermore, to ensure covert installation and long operating time, devices must continuously shrink in size and reduce power consumption to near-physical limits.　　The global Cat.1 bis module solves this through multi-region compatibility, enabling a single device to achieve "one hardware, worldwide connectivity." Enterprises can maintain a single SKU that meets network certification requirements across major global operators. This not only reduces management complexity and cost but also enables seamless roaming for cross-border asset tracking.　　With its compact, integrated hardware design, the next-generation module minimizes PCB footprint to meet the "ultra-compact" demands of locators. Combined with software-level power optimization, standby consumption is reduced to the microamp level — allowing even coin cell–sized devices to deliver long-term asset protection.　　AI Companions and Wearables: The Art of Balancing Performance and Efficiency　　Driven by large AI models, new categories such as AI companion dolls and senior health trackers are booming. These devices embody the “have it all” dilemma — balancing the demanding requirements of AI voice interaction for speed and mobility access, cost efficiency for mass adoption, and large batteries within compact designs to support intensive AI operations. This transformation demands multi-functional connectivity.　　Cat.1 bis perfectly meets the speed requirements for both voice interaction and data transmission, avoiding the overkill and high costs of advanced LTE modules. For AI-driven devices that frequently wake from standby, Cat.1 bis optimizes power consumption and sleep mechanisms at the software level, achieving an efficient balance between connectivity and computational efficiency. Its compact hardware design also makes wearables lighter and more comfortable, enabling truly all-day intelligent companionship.　　Conclusion: The Core Enabler of the Next IoT Evolution　　From mobile IPCs to globally connected trackers and long-lasting AI wearables, every leap in IoT devices pushes the limits of connectivity technology. The new-generation global Cat.1 bis is rising to the challenge with three core capabilities — high compatibility, cost efficiency, and intelligent adaptability (including bandwidth self-adjustment, smart sleep, and single-SKU global support).　　Cat.1 bis not only achieves unprecedented compactness and power efficiency in hardware but also establishes a unified connectivity foundation for Chinese smart manufacturing to expand globally.

Murata：SCH16T-K20 High-Precision 6-Axis IMU for Robotics and Camera Systems

　　Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has announced the expansion of its SCH16T series of high-performance inertial measurement units (IMUs) with the introduction of the SCH16T-K20, targeting industrial, prosumer, and consumer markets worldwide. Designed for OEMs in robotics, drones, and camera systems, as well as IMU module manufacturers and system integrators requiring safety-critical IMUs, the SCH16T-K20 delivers market-leading precision, mechanical robustness, and reliability.　　In demanding inertial measurement applications such as dead-reckoning navigation as well as drone and camera stabilization, small measurement errors can accumulate over time leading to unpredictable measurement results. In these applications, key IMU parameters such as noise density, offset bias drift, and vibration rectification ultimately limit the end-application performance and achievable response speed. Murata improves all the key areas with the new SCH16T-K20, which features a brand-new MEMS accelerometer and improved gyroscope temperature calibration.　　The SCH16T-K20 is a 6 axis IMU with a typical gyroscope noise density of 0.0004 (°/s)/√Hz, gyroscope bias instability of 0.3 °/h, and accelerometer noise density as low as 33 µg/√Hz.
