Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723) today introduced a new Bluetooth chip that combines a radio transceiver, an Arm® M0+ micro-controller, memory, peripherals and security features in a compact SoC (system on a chip) design.*
“The DA14533, the first automotive-qualified device in the company’s Bluetooth® Low Energy system-on-chip (SoC) family, includes advanced power management features to simplify system integration and reduce power consumption,” Renesas said.
“With its software stack qualified against Bluetooth Core 5.3 and support for extended temperatures, developers can jump-start projects in applications from tire pressure monitoring and keyless entry to wireless sensors and battery management systems,” Renesas said.
Renesas Claims
- The new DA14533 includes some of the most advanced power management features in the industry.
- The device includes an integrated DC-DC buck converter, which accurately adjusts the output voltage according to system requirements.
- Active system power consumption is lower than comparable devices in the market, requiring only 3.1mA during transmission and 2.5mA during reception. In hibernation mode, the current drops to 500nA.
- These power management and power-saving features help extend the operational life of small-capacity battery-powered systems and meet the stringent power requirements of tire pressure monitoring systems’ mission profile.

He also brings an historical perspective while citing their contemporary relevance of the work of legendary auto writers such as Ken Purdy, Jim Dunne or Jerry Flint, or writers such as Red Smith, Mark Twain, Thomas Jefferson – all to bring perspective to a chaotic automotive universe.
Above all, decades after he first drove a car, Zino still revels in the sound of the exhaust as the throttle is blipped during a downshift and the driver’s rush that occurs when the entry, apex and exit points of a turn are smoothly and swiftly crossed. It’s the beginning of a perfect lap.
AutoInformed has an editorial philosophy that loves transportation machines of all kinds while promoting critical thinking about the future use of cars and trucks.
Zino builds AutoInformed from his background in automotive journalism starting at Hearst Publishing in New York City on Motor and MotorTech Magazines and car testing where he reviewed hundreds of vehicles in his decade-long stint as the Detroit Bureau Chief of Road & Track magazine. Zino has also worked in Europe, and Asia – now the largest automotive market in the world with China at its center.
