On August 18, 2022, the “2022 World Semiconductor Conference & Expo” with the theme “World Chip, Future Dream” was successfully held at the Nanjing International Expo Center. This conference invited renowned experts and representatives from the semiconductor industry, academia, research, investment, services, and media from both domestic and international backgrounds to discuss the development trends of the global semiconductor industry.
Wang Shiting, International Strategic Marketing Director of Chipone Technology, was invited to participate and delivered a keynote speech titled “Four-in-One, Empowering Vehicles with Soul”—focusing on Chipone’s comprehensive, platform-based chip products and technical solutions, sharing the development direction of the automotive-grade chip industry.
With the development of smart connected vehicles, the electronic and electrical architecture of automobiles is shifting from traditional distributed systems to centralized systems, driving the demand for new devices and performance.
Wang Shiting stated that cockpit + vehicle control + intelligent driving have become the core technology areas driving automotive intelligence. By 2025, the global market for automotive core chips is expected to exceed 200 billion, and it will continue to grow steadily in the future.
As a leading provider of automotive-grade chips in China, Chipone’s technology products and solutions cover four major business areas: smart cockpit, intelligent driving, central gateway, and high-performance MCU, targeting the core application scenarios of future smart vehicles.
The smart cockpit chip “Cabin Core” X9 can drive up to 10 high-definition displays simultaneously, including the instrument panel, central control, rearview mirror, and rear entertainment, supporting multi-screen sharing and interaction to meet the functional requirements of future smart cockpits. Currently, Chipone’s X9 has successfully secured dozens of key model contracts and achieved large-scale mass production.
Chipone’s intelligent driving chip “Driving Core” V9 integrates a high-performance CPU, GPU, and AI processing engine. Through a rich set of sensor interfaces, the vehicle can simultaneously collect data from multiple cameras, LiDAR, and millimeter-wave radar, completing the intelligent driving process from perception, positioning, planning, decision-making, to control. Based on the V9 processor, Chipone has also built an open intelligent driving platform, UniDrive, characterized by low latency, high efficiency, and high safety.
With the development of the vehicle’s electronic and electrical architecture, communication and data sharing between various regions, domain controllers, and central computing units have become new demand points; optimizing vehicle wiring harnesses and increasing communication speeds require a new generation of gateway domain controllers to support the new electronic and electrical architecture. Chipone’s G9 series central gateway chips are high-performance automotive-grade chips designed for the new generation of core gateways within vehicles, meeting high functional safety and reliability requirements.
In addition to smart cockpits and central gateways, vehicles also require MCUs to handle intelligent demands at the edge. In response, Chipone launched the high-performance, high-reliability automotive-grade MCU E3 “Control Core” series products in April this year, with a CPU frequency of up to 800MHz and up to 6 CPU cores, of which 4 cores can be configured for dual-core lockstep or independent operation; the automotive-grade reliability standard meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1, and the functional safety level reaches ISO 26262 ASIL D, filling the gap in the domestic high-end, high-safety automotive MCU market.
In the future, Chipone will continue to focus on automotive-grade chip R&D with solid steps and forward-looking insights, continuously supporting the rapid development of the intelligent connected vehicle industry, and striving for the goal of bringing domestic chips to the international stage!
