Renesas continues to acquire with a consistent theme

　On the other hand, Renesas has acquired US analog semiconductor companies Intersil Corporation in 2017, and in 2019, Integrated Device Technology, Inc..(Hereafter, IDT) The acquisition has been completed.

　過去の買収により、ルネサスは多様な人材を獲得してマネージメント力を強化。今回の買収もルネサスの取り組みの延長線上にあるもので、DialogのR&D部隊が加わることで低電力アナログ・ミックスドシグナルでのエンジニア陣および設計開発技術を拡充することを目的にしているという。

　In the briefing session, Mr. Shibata of Renesas said, "I've been acquiring a consistent theme in recent years. The theme is one of the analog/mixed signals, especially our products.The fact that we have been strengthening, focusing on those with a strong sense of shortage in portfolios, and in the application, we want to make the balance of applications such as industrial, automotive, and IoT, for example, to balance the balance.I want to build a product and business that can handle a variety of applications. And, especially for talents, especially engineers, but also the appointment of aggressive human resources from the acquired company, including talent other than engineers.As we proceeded, we have become more international companies and have been acquiring them to revitalize the organization. "

　Regarding synergy in the product aspect by the acquisition of Dialog, Mr. Shibata said, "Especially with the addition of this Dialog product and technology, of course, various fields will be strengthened, but in particular, the body and interior are said to be a particularly easy -to -understand example.In the field, for example, the LED backlight used in cockpit, the technology used for the wireless key, and some ADAS and LED drivers used for headlights will be incorporated into us.I will do it. As these products are strengthened, we will provide solutions with a wide range of END to END or Comprehensive (comprehensive) products in the field of industrial, infrastructure, and IoT.I think I will be able to do it. "

　In terms of human resources, the acquisition of Dialog is said to be 46 % for Japanese employees, 16 % in the United States, 16 % for EMEA, and 21 % in APAC.

　Mr. Shibata said, "I talk only to the employee population of engineers, but Renesas is of course a majority of engineers in Japan, whereas Dialog is a majority in Europe.It has such a configuration. The combination of these is a very comfortable state of the United States and Europe, especially in the United States, and 16 % in Europe, so geopolitical situation.As it is changing drastically, I think that it is one of the attractions that it will be possible to continue R & D activities from a variety of perspectives, without being concentrated in the pole.
