Growing European support network for Renesas Synergy Platform

Renesas has announced that a European-wide network of Independent Design Houses (IDH) is ready to support the Renesas Synergy Platform. So far, the network comprises 13 IDH covering many European regions in local languages. Their capabilities range from skills such as functional safety or graphical user interface designs to complete turn-key product developments, including exterior design and manufacturing. The services also include various tests and certifications.

“Increasing system complexity is the driving force behind the trend to outsource designs to IDH,” said Mohammed Dogar, senior manager MCU/MPU Solution Marketing, Industrial & Communications Business Unit, Renesas Electronics Europe. “The Renesas Synergy Platform is suited to develop these complex systems faster than ever before.”

Design services from the Renesas IDH partner network can be used where R&D resources are fully utilised; where special skills are required; or where a company without its own electronics R&D needs to get an electronic product designed for their otherwise non-electronic portfolio. Renesas expects the network to grow further during 2016.
