IP Solutions Support Custom Development for

Artificial Intelligence to Autonomous Driving
Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premier supplier
of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced it is
expanding access to its extensive portfolio of intellectual
property (IP) licenses that allow designers to meet a broad range
of customized customer requirements in a rapidly changing industry.
Renesas has incorporated a broad range of IP into its
microcontrollers (MCUs) and system on chip (SoC) product spans,
including central processing unit (CPU) IP, communication interface
IP, timer IP, memory IP, and analog IP. Effective today, Renesas is
offering customers access to the most highly sought assets from its
IP portfolio. The first batch of offerings will consist of over 40
licenses, including CPU cores (RX, SH, etc.), timer IP for motor
applications, USB cores, and SRAM. More licenses will be offered
moving forward in response to demand.
As a leading global semiconductor device supplier, Renesas has
developed an abundance of IP solutions. This includes standalone
CPU and peripheral IP modules, as well as subsystems such as bus
controllers or interrupt controllers that connect to IP modules.
All of these IP assets share the high level of reliability and
quality expected from a vertically integrated semiconductor device
vendor responsible for all stages from design through
manufacturing. Renesas also offers technical support grounded in
its unmatched expertise as a semiconductor manufacturer.
Manufacturers interested in developing custom chips for
applications such as artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous
vehicles and robots can leverage Renesas IP in their subsystems
design, allowing them to concentrate on developing their own
competitive IP assets, and thereby speeding up the advanced
semiconductor development process. In addition, manufacturers using
field programmable gate array (FPGA) devices for early development
can utilize Renesas IP assets to speed up software development,
allowing for early evaluation and accelerated time to market, and
then transition immediately to mass production. On the other hand,
customers who prefer to use existing software assets can continue
to utilize Renesas IP assets, thereby reducing the labor needed to
develop, verify, and evaluate software and boards, and allowing for
more efficient system development.
”As a leading global semiconductor supplier with deep
manufacturing expertise, Renesas brings its unique perspective to
the IP market with a broad portfolio of semiconductor IP assets,”
said Hiroyuki Kondo, Vice President of Shared R&D Division 1,
Renesas Electronics Corporation. “This completely open initiative
offers manufacturers of assembled products and fabless
semiconductor companies access trusted IP that allows them to
accelerate software development cycles and develop customized
semiconductors more quickly, dramatically speeding up technological
innovation worldwide.”
Previously, Renesas provided IP assets to select customers. The
new effort to expand IP sales marks Renesas’ entry to the IP
licensing market, which is growing at a rate of over 10 percent a
year and is expected to be worth around a trillion yen in 2025.
Renesas aims to achieve sales of more than ten billion yen in 2025.
Moving forward, Renesas intends to capture and expand growth in the
IP market by offering customers the ability to customize their IP,
as well as by licensing existing IP assets.
