Beijing, China – March 11, 2026 – Renesas Electronics (TSE: 6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the full market availability of 'Renesas 365,' an intelligent model-based platform powered by Altium. The platform integrates component and solution discovery, model-based system development, and early proof-of-concept validation into a unified cloud environment, aiming to enable large-scale chip-to-system integration through an open ecosystem and deliver an unprecedented design experience for engineers.
In modern embedded design, engineers often struggle with disconnected workflows, tedious manual component searches, and limited system-level awareness. Renesas 365 addresses these challenges by consolidating previously disparate tools—such as embedded software files, datasheets, and application notes—into a streamlined, cloud-managed platform. With this platform, engineering teams can collaboratively explore architectures, develop hardware and software in parallel, and make system-level design decisions based on real-time insights, significantly improving development efficiency and product quality.
Since the initial concept announcement, Renesas has now released the first phase of Renesas 365, integrating over 550 models of RA Series microcontrollers (MCUs). As an industry-leading Arm® architecture MCU product line, the RA Series comes with a complete set of development tools, laying a solid foundation for engineers to build powerful embedded systems.
Leveraging model-based evaluation and optimization technologies, Renesas 365 functions as an intelligent design environment: it proactively assists in selecting the appropriate MCU based on complete system requirements. Engineers no longer need to sift through datasheets manually; instead, they receive guided recommendations based on pin usage, peripherals, timing, power consumption, and how well components match system building blocks. Tasks that once took an hour to consult datasheets and tool requirements can now be completed in minutes, dramatically shortening evaluation time. This system-level intelligence accelerates design convergence, minimizes subsequent rework, and supports more powerful, efficient, and cost-effective embedded designs, helping products reach the market faster.
