Renesas and Altium Launch ‘Renesas 365 Powered by Altium’ - Breakthrough Industry Solution for Software-Defined Products

New industry solution marks a major milestone in Renesas' acquisition of Altium, ushering in a new era of electronic system development

BEIJING, China, March 6, 2025 - Renesas Electronics Corporation, a global provider of semiconductor solutions, and Altium, a global provider of advanced electronic design software, announced the launch of Renesas 365 Powered by Altium (‘Renesas 365’), a breakthrough industry solution for software-defined products. (‘Renesas 365’), a groundbreaking electronics industry solution designed to optimise the entire process of electronics development, from chip selection to system lifecycle management. The transformative solution will be unveiled at the International Embedded Show in Nuremberg, Germany, from 11-13 March at booth 5-371, and is expected to be available in early 2026.

The launch of Renesas 365 marks an important milestone in Renesas Electronics' acquisition of Altium and highlights the transformative potential offered by the convergence of their technologies. Built on the Altium 365 platform, Renesas 365 is designed to accelerate the development process by eliminating inefficiencies, enabling team collaboration, facilitating solution discovery and ensuring digital continuity, empowering engineers to build better, smarter products.

Leading the Future of Electronic Systems Innovation

Renesas 365 is dedicated to solving long-standing challenges in the electronics industry. Embedded system development is often plagued by manual component lookups, fragmented documentation, and barriers to team collaboration, and Renesas 365 addresses these challenges by organically combining Altium's advanced cloud platform with Renesas' comprehensive portfolio of embedded computing, analogue and connectivity, and power. It optimises workflows by integrating hardware, software and lifecycle data into a unified digital environment, accelerates time-to-market, ensures digital traceability and real-time insights, and improves decision-making throughout the entire decision-making process, from concept to deployment.

The launch of Renesas 365 is an important milestone in realising Renesas‘ digital vision,’ said Hidetoshi Shibata, CEO of Renesas. Together with Altium, we hope to inspire more innovation by creating an electronic system design and lifecycle management platform that makes electronic design easy for a broader market. Renesas' expertise in embedded semiconductor solutions, combined with Altium's experience in electronic design and collaboration, will come together to create this ground-breaking industry solution.Renesas 365 is set to revolutionise the way smart, connected electronic systems are designed, developed and continuously optimised.’

Five Core Pillars

Renesas 365 is built on five interconnected solution pillars that ensure seamless system-level integration and continuous digital connectivity throughout the product lifecycle:

Silicon - As the foundation of modern electronics solutions, Renesas 365 ensures that every chip is application-ready and optimised for software-defined products. Whether it's for ultra-low-power IoT devices or performance-hungry AI-driven applications, Renesas 365 offers chips that integrate seamlessly into the overall system.

Discover - Powered by Altium, the component sourcing portal helps engineers not only find components quickly, but also complete solutions from Renesas Electronics' comprehensive product portfolio to accelerate system design and improve accuracy.

Develop - Powered by Altium, the electronics co-development platform provides a multi-disciplinary, cloud-based development environment that ensures real-time collaboration between hardware, software and mechanical teams.

Lifecycle - Powered by Altium, the full lifecycle management solution establishes persistent digital traceability for seamless and smooth over-the-air (OTA) updates and ensures compliance and security from concept to deployment.

Software - Provides AI-optimised development tools to ensure software-defined systems meet the needs of modern applications.

For Next-Generation Electronic Innovation

Renesas 365 is designed to drive next-generation electronics innovation, closely aligned with emerging industry trends. It provides a unified software framework that accommodates the diverse needs of software-defined systems from low to high computing power; AI-enabled development tools that empower edge devices to achieve real-time, low-power AI reasoning; and advanced security, compliance tracking, and automated over-the-air (OTA) updates to ensure secure management of the full lifecycle, from design to deployment.

Setting a New Industry Standard: Connecting Chip to System

More than just a technology innovation, Renesas 365 is an important step in the digital transformation of the electronics industry, bridging the gap between silicon and system development. By ensuring seamless collaboration, real-time decision-making and continuous system context, Renesas and Altium will redefine the way electronic systems are designed, developed and continuously optimised in a connected world - from chip selection to complete system implementation.

Experience the Power of Renesas 365 at Embedded International

At Embedded International, Renesas will present Renesas 365 through lively live demonstrations, showcasing its power as a unified industry solution for modern electronics development.
