Renesas Electronics RX72N Envision Kit

Renesas Electronics RX72N Envision Kit features the RX72N MCU which is the flagship of the 32-bit microcontroller RX family. This kit includes a WQVGA LCD with a capacitive touch panel allowing GUI development using an LCD controller and a 2D drawing engine. The RX72N Envision kit provides a D2Audio IC with a stereo MEMS microphone to support HMI features like voice input and output. This kit supports communications like Wi-Fi/BLE and Ethernet. The extended storage is available using Macronix’s 32Mb serial flash with USB and microSD slots. With the on-board pre-installed demo and emulator circuit, the user can review features and start MCU development immediately.
