RENESAS

Renesas Technology Corporation is based in Tokyo. Its history goes back to 2002, when Hitachi and Mitsubishi merged their semiconductor divisions into an independent company manufacturing integrated circuits. The merger with the semiconductor production plants belonging to NEC was the next step in the manufacturer's development process. The supplier offers components for automotive and industrial applications, as well as for IoT (Internet of Things) devices. After taking over the Intersil Corporation company in 2017, Renesas extended its product range by including in it precise analogue solutions. The company built its portfolio primarily based on developing and supplying advanced microcontrollers and microprocessors for road vehicles. In the following years, its engineers further expanded its assortment for the automotive market and included in it analogue circuits and controllers. The company’s development also involved taking over other semiconductor manufacturers, such as IDT (Integrated Device Technology) in 2018, and Dialog Semiconductor 3 years later.

Renesas Electronics offers an extremely diverse selection of SMD (surface-mounted) and THT (through-hole) semiconductor systems, which is definitely one of the major advantages of products from this brand. These are basic components, such as multiplexers, analogue switches, real-time clocks, watchdog elements, A/D and D/A converters, as well as regular optocouplers and transistors. Moreover, the TME product catalogue also includes RX-family runtime (evaluation) sets and programming devices offered by this Japanese manufacturer.
