Q

The Dialog product portfolio is extremely complementary with Renesas’ offerings, especially in the IoT, Industrial and Infrastructure space. Dialog’s low-power PMIC’s, low-power Wi-Fi & BLE and CMIC technologies will enhance our solutions and augment our leadership products in MCUs, MPUs, sensors, timing, and signal-chain interface. I also want to stress that adding the global talent from within Dialog was just as important as acquiring its technology. Our teams are already working together to deliver what we call “Winning Combinations,” which include both Dialog and Renesas products, to speed the development process and reduce design risk for our customers.
