Renesas Electronics Corporation, a provider of advanced semiconductor solutions, is expanding its Renesas Ready Partner Network to include commercial-grade, performance-optimized building blocks for its RZ family of microprocessors (MPUs). The MPUs feature 106 new partners and 160 core solutions.
The Trusted Technology Partner Program has grown over the past three years to more than 200 partners who collectively provide more than 300 core solutions that work out of the box with the Renesas RZ MPU and RA, RX and RL78 microcontrollers (MCU). product lines. Customers can now easily scale 8-bit to 64-bit product offerings with most partners.
“Renesas has grown its world-class partner ecosystem for MCUs and MPUs and we will continue to expand our network to make our customers' lives easier,” said Sailesh Chittipeddi, Executive Vice President and General Manager of IoT and Infrastructure Business Unit at Renesas. Renesas. “With the addition of our RZ family, we now have a unique and strong global ecosystem of trusted partners across all of our products.”
The Renesas Ready Partner Network has evolved over the past three years as a plug-and-play option that combines the benefits of Renesas products to help customers simplify their design processes and accelerate time to market and time to revenue . The solutions ecosystem will continue to grow globally as additional partners join the program.
“Ecosystems like the Renesas Ready Partner Network are increasingly important thanks to the numerous solutions available for industrial IoT,” said Chip Rodgers, chief marketing officer at WorkSpan, an ecosystem business management platform. “Design complexity has expanded and project deadlines are much tighter. Partner ecosystems are critically important for building end-to-end solutions to solve real-world engineering problems, improve collaboration and drive success.”
Kaushal Vora, senior director of Business Acceleration and Ecosystems at Renesas, and Chip Rodgers will discuss the importance of ecosystems and the expanded Renesas Ready program on WorkSpan's “Ecosystems Aces” podcast on November 11. For more information and to listen to the podcast, click here .
The Renesas Ready Partner Network leverages pre-developed third-party software and hardware building blocks. Solutions work “out of the box” to solve real customer problems with Renesas MCU and MPU products and are revised to accompany each major release of Renesas software platforms and tools.
Building blocks are identified with a product-specific emblem and come with easy-to-understand materials and a demo project. Interactive and immersive content is available in the form of technical demos, video overviews, reference designs and white papers, covering a broad spectrum of technologies.
