Microwave Oven (Low-End)

Overview

Low-end microwave ovens must provide simple operation as affordable electric household cooking appliances. They control the output power based on data obtained from thermal sensors, weight sensors, etc. In structural terms, the main output of a microwave oven is produced by a magnetron, with switching performed at commercial frequencies and output supplied to the magnetron.

Renesas has a broad lineup of MCU products suitable for microwave ovens. These include 78K0/Kx2-L and the R8C/3xD Series of microcontrollers, which are built around a high-performance CPU and integrate a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) function and A/D converters to handle a variety of sensor inputs.
