When you open the aluminum alloy casing of the ECU, you will see a PCB (multi-layered epoxy resin board) that is soldered with various ICs (integrated circuits or commonly known as chips), resistors and capacitors the size of sesame seeds, power MOSFETs (field-effect transistors) and power diodes and transistors closely attached to the aluminum casing, … Read more
In terms of chips, Huawei has always insisted on independent research and development, especially for core high-end chips, such as the Kirin series, Balong series, Kunpeng series, and Lingxiao series. However, after the rules regarding chips were modified, Huawei’s self-developed Kirin 9000 and other chips could not be produced temporarily, because TSMC and others could … Read more
In the past year or two, the open-source instruction set architecture RISC-V has received unprecedented support from the industry due to its advantages such as open-source, free, modular, and scalable. Major companies including Qualcomm, Google, NVIDIA, Samsung, Western Digital, SiFive, PingTouGe, ChipLink, XuanYuan Microelectronics, GigaDevice, and hundreds of others are vigorously supporting the RISC-V ecosystem, … Read more
Chip design and verification are facing increasing challenges. How to address these issues—especially in the context of incorporating machine learning—is a major concern for the EDA industry, which was a common theme among the four keynote speakers at this month’s Design Automation Conference (DAC). This year, DAC returned as an in-person event, featuring keynote speeches … Read more
Overview of Automotive Chips Automotive-grade semiconductors, commonly known as “automotive chips”, are semiconductors used in vehicle control devices, in-vehicle monitoring devices, and in-vehicle electronic control devices, among other fields. They are primarily distributed in vehicle control modules, in-vehicle infotainment systems, integrated powertrain control systems, active safety systems, and advanced driver-assistance systems. Compared to traditional fuel … Read more

Chips are one of the greatest inventions of our time. Without the advent of chips, it is hard to imagine what today’s electronic era would look like. Everyone operates a “computer” the size of a house, carrying a huge “phone” while talking to friends far away, and the sound quality is terrible. It is precisely … Read more
The chip design industry is a typical high-investment, high-reward industry, but it is also a very risky one. If the designed chip does not meet expectations, the huge investment goes down the drain. Below, we will discuss the cost structure of a chip and how the price of a chip is defined. The cost of … Read more
