Monday, December 10, 2012, 9:34 AM Renesas (RNECY.PK) says it will receive ¥150B ($1.8B) from a government-backed fund and manufacturers to help stay in business, and expects an additional ¥50B from the fund in time. A November Nikkei report indicated Renesas would get $2.2B in exchange for a $2.2B stake and a commitment to restructure. Any downsizing efforts could provide microcontroller rivals such as ATML, FSL, NXPI, and MCHP a chance to gain share. Comment! [Tech]
Monday, November 26, 2012, 7:56 AM A fund backed by the Japanese government is set to pay $2.2B to buy 2/3 of chipmaker Renesas (RNECY.PK) from current owners Mitsubishi, NEC, and Hitachi, a source tells the Nikkei. Renesas, which rose 16.6% in Tokyo on the report, would reportedly shutter factories and cut as many as 5K jobs as part of the deal. Renesas is the top player in the microcontroller market, where it competes with Microchip, Freescale, STMicroelectronics, and others. Comment! [Tech, M&A, On the Move]
Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 6:25 PM Microchip (MCHP) may not grab a lot of tech gadget headlines, but its new MGC3130 chip could be a big deal if widely adopted.

Applications range from manipulating a smartphone or notebook app to adjusting the volume on a stereo. Microchip says it's working with 5 OEMs who plan to use the chip. Comment! [Tech]
