Sensors and Actuators

The Sensing and Working Level of Automation

K Series: 8-/32-Bit Microcontroller

The scalability of the controllers within the K Series is a key feature, especially for sensor applications. Start your design with an 8-bit microcontroller with a certain amount of memory, and switch to a larger 44-pin/32-bit device as the application becomes more demanding.

Key features:

• Award-winning 8-bit microcontrollers
• Low pin-count versions
• Migration path from 8 to 32 bits
• Special ASSPs for motor control and sensor applications

Mini Gate Arrays

Imagine you found the perfect controller for your sensor application - but one tiny function is missing or the controller is not fast enough to run a specific algorithm. No problem: our Mini Gate Arrays allow customers to integrate the missing function that makes all the difference.

Key features:

• Small outline packages or bare die
• Low NRE costs
• Simple design flow

Analog Arrays: Analog Master

NEC Electronics is unquestionably a leading digital semiconductor supplier. But we also offer analog solutions. We combine our strengths in production and quality with our expertise in digital array processes. The result is Analog Master, a family of analog bipolar array technologies. The basic components are pre-diffused, with structuring via metal layers.

Key features:

• Ideal for sensor applications
• Low mask costs
• Saves space thanks to integration and packages (e.g. SSOP or die)
