Renesas Electronics Corporation

About Renesas Electronics

Renesas Electronics Corporation is a Japanese semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in Tokyo and, according to its own statements, employs more than 21,000 staff in over 30 countries. The portfolio includes microcontrollers (MCU), microprocessors (MPU), analog ICs, power and GaN semiconductors, sensor technology and connectivity solutions, complemented by software, development tools and reference designs. The products are used, among other things, in automotive engineering, industrial automation, consumer electronics, communications infrastructure, robotics, healthcare and AI data centers. In-house manufacturing facilities with IATF-16949 certification are located in Japan (including Yonezawa, Oita, Nishiki, Naka, Takasaki, Saijo, Kawashiri) as well as in Malaysia and China; the GaN technology is based on a vertically integrated in-house wafer fabrication. The company additionally supports customers with functional safety in accordance with ISO 26262, IEC 61508 and IEC/UL 60730, as well as with embedded security and Edge-AI development.
