Renesas Acquires Pictorus to Simplify and Accelerate Embedded Application Software Development
This Strategic Move Brings Renesas Another Step Closer to Realizing Its Digitalization Vision
Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723, “Renesas”), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, announced today that a Renesas subsidiary has completed the acquisition of software developer Pictorus, based in Oakland, California.
With the acquisition of Pictorus, Renesas gains a cloud-based behavioral modeling platform that accelerates embedded system development, moving the engineering experience beyond point tools by providing a connected platform for model-based system design. This acquisition will enhance the value of Renesas 365, Renesas’ newly released platform that unifies electronics system development from discovery to development and lifecycle management. It will enable engineers to visually design, express, and simulate system behavior and intent, accelerating the application development cycle. As a cloud native platform, it will help to ensure a complete digital thread, enabling digital continuity from system modeling to software implementation to device deployment. It brings Renesas another step closer to realizing its Digitalization Vision: To make electronics design accessible to the broader market to allow more innovation by creating an Electronics System Design & Lifecycle Management Platform together with Altium.
