Renesas Introduces Innovative New “Lab on the Cloud” Environment That Provides Instant Access to Popular Application Solutions

Designers Can Configure Evaluation Boards Remotely Through an Intuitive GUI

TOKYO, Japan, January 21 2021 ― Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced its new “Lab on the Cloud” environment where Renesas solutions, including popular evaluation boards, winning combinations and software, are hosted in a remote lab that customers can access and test online. The Lab on the Cloud is accessible at www.renesas.com/labonthecloud.

The Lab on the Cloud provides users with quick access to Renesas solutions before they receive a physical board or start a design. Boards are configured in a remote lab connected to the cloud and users access the boards through an intuitive GUI. Live video of each board allows users to test, monitor, and measure results instantly. The Lab on the Cloud environment utilizes a platform developed by Tenxer Technologies, and provides 24/7 access to, along with online support for, Renesas solutions.

“Renesas recognizes the digital environment is rapidly evolving, and our goal is to be at the forefront of it,” said Chris Allexandre, Senior Vice President of Renesas’ IoT and Infrastructure Business Unit. “We believe our Lab on the Cloud environment will be game changing for customers. By providing instant access to design tools, which typically take days or weeks to procure in hand, our customers can shorten their test time and, ultimately, time to market.”

Lab on the Cloud Boards Available Today

Renesas is initially providing access to 9 popular evaluation boards in the Lab on the Cloud environment, with more becoming available in the coming months. 

  • MPPT-Based Solar Battery Charger
  • USB-PD with Turbo Boost
  • Buck-Boost Last Gasp Power Supply for Energy Meter

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
