HVAC Overview

Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning

The key operations of creating an optimum working and living environment requires the control of heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Programmable sensors detect and measure the surrounding environment such as inside/outside temperature and humidity. Utilising this information with intelligent central heating controls, the appropriate adjustments can be communicated to remote heater and air conditioning equipment.

NEC Electronics offers a range of microcontrollers from the low power - low pin count 78K0S/78K0 8 bit devices, the new 16bit 78K0R microcontroller to high performance V850 32-bit RISC micro. Flash technology is featured with the ability to perform EEPROM emulation for storage of programmed data.

Remote sensors can display measured data, operating modes, etc readily via LCD displays driven directly by the L-series microcontroller product line. If you need to add communications to your next design, NEC Electronics Electronics offer the new Zigbee for a wireless solutions.

For control of actuators, motors or switching power devices used in the heating and ventilation systems, NEC Electronics' range of motor control ASSP microcontrollers in conjunction with NEC Electronics' opto-couplers and power MOSFETs can help you design your next cost effective solution.

A range of starter kits and robust development tools for software development on the range of NEC Electronics micros are available.
