Dawn of a New Future —
Renesas Electronics
Combining the strengths of
NEC Electronics and
Renesas Technology
Renesas Electronics Corporation—the new company resulting from the April 1, 2010
merger of Renesas Technology Corporation and NEC Electronics Corporation—is a global
semiconductor powerhouse offering a wide range of advanced solutions for a huge
customer base around the world. Besides being the world's top supplier of microcontrollers
with a 30% market share*, we are also a premiere supplier of SoC products,
analog/mixed-signal chips, power devices and much more.
New and existing customers gain signicant advantages from the unprecedented strength,
extensive technology assets, and clear business focus made possible by our recent merger
and invigorated corporate structure.
Renesas’ microcontroller architectures are #1 across diverse markets, and their
extensive use and broad support both facilitate successful system designs and reduce
engineering risk.
Access to the state-of-the-art design and production technologies of the two biggest
Japanese semiconductor companies drives solid product roadmaps and sparks innova-
tion, while top-level commitments to customers protect engineering investments in our
existing architectures.
Being one of the few chipmakers now supporting an ITDM (Integrated Device and
Technology Manufacturer) business model, Renesas Electronics Corporation provides
exceptional levels of quality and exibility by maintaining total control over all aspects
of the products we produce: semiconductor R&D, chip design, and device production,
including processing, packaging and testing.
