New solution advances electronics system development after Altium acquisition.
Renesas Electronics Corp. and Altium have introduced Renesas 365, powered by Altium, designed to streamline electronics system development from silicon selection to system lifecycle management. This transformative solution will be demonstrated at embedded world in Nuremberg, Germany, and is expected to be available in early 2026.
This launch follows Renesas’ acquisition of Altium and integrates their expertise. Built on the Altium 365 platform, Renesas 365, Powered by Altium, aims to improve efficiency, connect teams, support solution discovery, and maintain digital continuity to streamline development.
Enhancing embedded system development through integration
Embedded system development often suffers from manual component searches, fragmented documentation, and siloed teams. Renesas 365 handles challenges by connecting Altium’s advanced cloud platform with Renesas’ comprehensive embedded compute, analog, connectivity, and power portfolio. By combining hardware, software, and lifecycle data in one digital environment, it supports workflow efficiency, digital traceability, real-time insights, and informed decision-making throughout the development process.
Five Integrated Pillars
Renesas 365 is built on five interconnected solution pillars, ensuring system-level integration and continuous digital context throughout the product lifecycle:
- Silicon – Serving as the foundation for modern electronic solutions, Renesas 365 ensures that every silicon component is application-ready and optimized for software-defined products. Whether for ultra-low-power IoT devices or AI-driven applications, Renesas 365 delivers silicon that integrates with the broader system.
- Discover – Powered by Altium, Discover helps engineers locate components and complete solutions from Renesas’ portfolio to support efficient and accurate system design.
- Develop – Powered by Altium, Develop provides a multidisciplinary cloud-based development environment, ensuring real-time collaboration across hardware, software, and mechanical teams.
- Lifecycle – Powered by Altium, Lifecycle establishes persistent digital traceability, enabling seamless over-the-air (OTA) updates and ensuring compliance and security from concept to deployment.
- Software – Provides AI-ready development tools to ensure software-defined systems are optimized for modern applications.
Addressing the next generation of electronics
Renesas 365 is designed for the next generation of electronics innovation, aligning with emerging industry trends by providing a unified software framework for software-defined systems spanning low- to high-compute performance; AI-ready development tools that enable real-time, low-power AI inference at the edge; and advanced security, compliance tracking, and automated OTA updates to ensure secure lifecycle management.
Integrating silicon and systems for efficient development
Renesas 365 is designed to integrate silicon and system development into a connected digital workflow. By supporting collaboration, real-time decision-making, and system context, Renesas and Altium aim to improve the efficiency of electronics system design and development.
