TDK to showcase ultra-low-power sensing and processing solution powered by Renesas

TDK Corporation announces the expansion of collaboration with Renesas and will present a demonstration of its new ultra-low-power sensing and processing reference design. The solution combines Renesas’ RA2L2 microcontroller (MCU) with the InvenSense SmartMotion^® ICM-42688-P 6-axis MEMS MotionTracking^® device. This collaboration delivers a powerful platform for industrial, home electronics, and IoT applications, offering advanced sensing and processing in a compact, energy-efficient solution.

The new board of reference design combines the Renesas RA2L2 MCU—the industry’s first MCU to support the USB Type-C Release 2.4 standard, featuring ultra-low power consumption and a 48-MHz Arm^® Cortex^®-M23 processor—with the InvenSense ICM-42688-P, a high-performance 6-axis MEMS MotionTracking^® device that integrates a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer with a noise floor respectively of 2.8 mdps/√Hz, accelerometer noise of 70 µg/√Hz. This innovative solution delivers precise motion sensing, making it ideal for a broad range of applications, including portable devices, PC peripherals, industrial systems, white goods, AR/VR controllers, head-mounted displays, wearables, sports equipment, robotics, and IoT solutions.




The new ultra-low-power board can be utilized for evaluation and development. It will be presented as one of the key products featured at CEATEC 2025 in Japan from October 14th to 17th in booth #6 / 6H180, where visitors will have the opportunity to explore its performance and capabilities firsthand.
