"It has been 10 years since we first introduced the RL78 Family, and as a leader of the extensive 16-bit MCU market, I am delighted that Renesas has continued its technology innovation drive as seen with the new RL78/G23, which delivers lower power consumption with a new process technology," said Noriaki Nakanishi, Vice President of the MCU Device Solution Business Division at Renesas. "Moving forward, we will continue to expand the RL78 Family's second-generation roadmap with easy to design and cost-efficient low-end MCUs to meet customers' ever-evolving development needs."
