Renesas New Supplier For Wirelessly Charging Active ES Pens

Renesas Electronics said today that they are now supplying the wireless power charging technology of Active ES pens from Wacom.

This shouldn't just affect the graphics tablets from Wacom, but the other regular tablets with Android or Windows that also relies on Wacom pens with Active ES technology.

Even Samsung have used Wacom pen technologies in their flagship tablets since the Tab S7 tablets.

So if your Active ES wirelessly charging pen has been acting up in one way or the other, then at least there's a chance that these issues will be addressed with these new pens from now on.

Renesas has gone for a low-frequency charging single-chip with a 32-bit processor, which according to themselves sports a ping-detect feature at the end of a charge that Renesas say improves thermal performance.
