On December 22, 2023, the “2023 Forum on High-Quality Development of the Civil Explosives Industry” was grandly held in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, organized by the China Explosive Materials Industry Association. Zhu Jianyong, General Manager of Rongguisi Chuang, was invited to give a keynote speech titled “Enhancing the Safety and Reliability of Electronic Detonators Based on ASIC Chip Design”.
More than 400 representatives from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s Civil Explosives Industry Expert Advisory Committee, standards committees, production enterprises, research institutes, design and safety evaluation agencies, specialized equipment manufacturers, and some provincial, regional, and municipal administrative departments and associations of the civil explosives industry attended the forum to discuss the high-quality development of the civil explosives industry.
The speech received high praise from the attendees, focusing on the impact of ASIC chip design on the safety and reliability of electronic detonators. It deeply explored how to enhance the reliability and intrinsic safety level of electronic detonators through ASIC chip design, pointing out that “the stability and reliability of ASIC chips determine the stability and reliability of communication and control in electronic detonators; the design of ASIC chips is the foundation and guarantee of the safety and reliability of electronic detonators.” The speech shared 17 years of research and experience accumulated by Rongguisi Chuang on product safety and reliability, as well as extensive research in ASIC chip design from the perspectives of product safety and public safety. These insights are significant for the R&D design of electronic detonator products and provide valuable guidance for ensuring the safety and reliability of electronic detonator products.
Features of Rongguisi Chuang’s ASIC Chip Design:
1
Utilizing the internationally highest safety factor dual-energy circuit system architecture design, high integration design, and high-voltage analog-digital mixed design, integrating data storage, rectifier bridge, discharge switch, self-discharge control circuit, temperature compensation circuit, communication and detection circuits, firing control circuit, safety detection circuit, interference protection, etc., into a single IC chip, effectively enhancing the product’s protection level, reducing damage from external ESD and EMC, and improving the product’s quality level.
2
Using high safety margin design, effectively improving the electronic detonator module’s compatibility with explosive agents and the reliability of ignition.
3
Employing specialized IP design, electromagnetic compatibility protection design, vibration protection design, communication anti-jamming design, etc., effectively enhancing the product’s stability, safety, and reliability, ensuring the safety of blasting operations in complex environments.
Rongguisi Chuang has always been at the forefront of technology R&D and product innovation in the industry, achieving many remarkable results through 17 years of R&D investment and innovation accumulation. The RG19A & RG22A chips won the “Best Semiconductor Chip Product Award” at the 2023 World Semiconductor Conference. At the same time, Rongguisi Chuang is also the first domestic company to respond to the call for high-quality development in civil explosives, conducting evaluations of “Safety Production Conditions for R&D Enterprises of Industrial Electronic Detonator Electronic Control Modules.” The RG19A & RG22A chip products have passed numerous testing certifications, including those from ORICA in Germany and Canada, laying the foundation for the global quality of RGSC chip products (in terms of safety and reliability).
