“The ECAD tool migration is an important step in our journey, and we look forward to continuing collaboration and to strengthening our partnership with Altium.” “Renesas has made a commitment to digital transformation and making the customer design process easier,” said Chris Allexandre, Senior Vice President, CSMO and Head of the Global Sales and Marketing Unit at Renesas. With features such as manufacturer part search on Altium 365, customers can choose Renesas parts directly from the Altium library for faster time to market. Renesas said that it will publish all its products’ ECAD libraries to the Altium Public Vault. With the use of CAD-specific intelligence, data can be stored and accessed online. Users can organise designs, libraries, and participants in one place while sharing links to designs for real-time collaboration. With Altium 365, users can collaborate with stakeholders and other participants while maintaining IP security and keeping designs under revision control. Renesas now offers more than 400 Winning Combinations for a wide range of customers and markets.Īltium 365 is a cloud-based PCB design platform. They allow customers to take advantage of an elevated platform for their design ideas, accelerating product development cycles and lowering overall risk in bringing designs to market.

Renesas’ Winning Combinations are engineering-vetted designs integrating embedded processing, analogue, power, and connectivity. The aim is to reduce complexity, improve cost structure and speed up time to market. Renesas currently employs multiple PCB design tools across the company, in part because different companies that Renesas has acquired over the past several years have brought their own legacy software into the company.Īs Renesas integrates components from these different groups into system solutions, a uniform PCB design tool will help to streamline board designs used for demonstrating and evaluating the company’s ‘Winning Combinations’ and other product kits.
