Frequently Asked Questions
Axiro Semiconductor, acquired the RF business to strategically
enhance its presence in the high-growth semiconductor sector.
The RF business complements the Murugappa group’s
diversification strategy.
In March 2024, CG Power and Industrial Solutions, the parent
company of Axiro Semiconductor Private Limited announced a joint
venture with Renesas and Stars Microelectronics to set up an
OSAT facility in India. This acquisition of the RF business
allows the group to operate on the design side of the
semiconductor industry, creating a comprehensive presence across
the semiconductor value chain and leverage synergies between
design and assembly/testing operations.
The majority of personnel including engineering, application support, marketing and some NPI operations for the RF business Products will transfer from Renesas to become employees of Axiro. The teams will continue to operate out of their existing San Diego design center in the US and from new Axiro facilities in India, Turkey and China. Additional hiring is taking place to fill roles that were centrally supported from within the Renesas organization. For a list of open roles, please visit our Careers page.
All the products listed on Axiro’s website have been acquired from Renesas. The full list of actively selling products, is available here for your convenience. For questions or support of NPI, custom and NRND/EOL products that were affected but not listed here, please reach out to sales@axiro.com.
Axiro has no plans to discontinue any products. Product offerings will be adjusted periodically based on market demand and customer needs.
Axiro has streamlined its distribution network, working with one or two major distributors per region. Please refer to our "Where to Buy" section for an updated list of authorized distributors. More distributors will be added in the coming months. For further inquiries, contact sales@axiro.com.
If your order was booked through a Renesas distributor that is
also a distributor of Axiro, then it will be delivered per the
commit date, except for orders due from 3rd April, 2025 to 10th
April, 2025 which may incur up to a two week delay due to system
switchover.
For orders booked through a Renesas distributor that is not a
distributor of Axiro, the order will be rebooked through an
alternate distributor maintaining the original commit date to
the greatest extent possible. If you have not yet been contacted
regarding this transition, please reach out to an Authorized
Distributors or e-mail sales@axiro.com.
Most product information is available on Axiro’s website. Documents previously accessible through the Renesas Secure Portal will remain available for several months until the migration to Axiro’s website is complete. If you need assistance locating a document, contact support@axiro.com.
Part numbers will remain the same. Renesas logo markings (if applicable) will be phased out within the first year for parts manufactured after 2nd April, 2025. Notification will be provided to you in accordance with QA policies when such changes take effect.
As a fabless semiconductor company, Axiro will continue using the same outsourced fabrication, assembly and testing locations and facilities. For any test locations that will change as a result of asset migrations from Renesas the test will be re-qualified to the same standards and notification issued in accordance with QA policy. The COO, which is based on assembly location, is expected to remain unchanged.
Products shipped by Renesas on or before 2nd April, 2025 will be covered by Renesas’ warranty. Products shipped on or after 3rd April, 2025 will be covered under Axiro’s warranty.
Renesas will support Axiro in manufacturing supply chain processes for up to 12 months after 3rd April, 2025. This will ensure uninterrupted supply while Axiro migrates assets and systems. Additionally, for six months after 3rd April, 2025, Renesas will act as an agent on Axiro’s behalf to service existing and new Purchase Orders. During this transition service period, invoices and shipping labels may still display the Renesas name and logo as an agent of Axiro.
