Raisonance designs and manufactures a variety of Microprocessor Development Systems, including Compilers, Simulators, High Level Language Debuggers, Real Time Operating Systems, Integrated Development Environment, Evaluation Boards and Real Time In-Circuit Emulators.
Supported target architectures include 8051 from several manufacturers, XA from Philips, ST6 from STMicroelectronics and Smart Card products from Philips. Raisonance specializes in 8 and 16 bits microcontrollers with tools based on advanced technology that is sometimes not available even for bigger, most expensive targets. In 1995 Raisonance was one of the first companies to offer a completely integrated development environment (today called RIDE for Raisonance Integrated Development Environment): continuously evolving since, RIDE offers today features that are unique on its market, like Multi Processor simulation, Peripheral Development Kit and CodeCompressor post-linker optimizing technology. Raisonance extended significantly its support for SmartCard chips, which now includes both contact and contact less interfaces.
