Under the shadow of the global “core shortage”, domestic chip manufacturers are quietly rising.
Recently, Wuxi Moxin Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Moxin Semiconductor) announced that it has completed the Pre-A round of financing of tens of millions of yuan. This round of financing was led by Wuxi Haichuang, followed by Xinhe Investment and Wuxi Xintou.
It is reported that the funds obtained this time will be used to promote the research and development of automotive chips.
In recent years, the global automotive industry has accelerated its development towards electrification and intelligence, and the demand for automotive chips as a support for transformational technologies has also increased rapidly. However, in the past few years, black swan incidents have occurred frequently, which has brought huge challenges to the supply of the semiconductor industry. With the characteristics of high entry barriers and long R&D cycles for automotive-grade chips, the shortage of automotive-grade chips continues to play out.
Behind the sudden change in the environment, domestic manufacturers have accelerated the development and application of automotive chips, and Moxin Semiconductor has also stepped up its layout.
It is understood that Wuxi Moxin Semiconductor Co., Ltd. is a technology company focusing on the field of automotive semiconductor chip design. The company mainly provides control chip solutions in the automotive semiconductor field. The main application scenarios are various domain controllers and regional controllers in cars. , subsystem controller, central gateway, regional gateway.
From the product point of view, the chips of Moxin Semiconductor have high functional safety (up to ASIL-D level), high-quality safety (up to AEC-Q100 grade1), high information security (with high-performance HSM, supporting national secrets), high Features of real-time (using software and hardware architecture based on real-time systems), high performance (using lock-step multi-core high-end processors and large-capacity on-chip flash memory), support various OTA upgrades, and lay a hardware foundation for software-defined vehicles.
This round of financing is the second round of financing that Moxin Semiconductor has obtained this year after receiving an angel round of financing of 10 million yuan led by Xingwang Investment in May.
The leading investor, Wuxi Haichuang Investment, is a venture capital institution with the purpose of supporting technology-driven and business model innovative enterprises in the hard technology track, especially technology-based overseas returnee start-ups. Through a professional investment team, the company analyzes the development prospect of the enterprise from the perspective of the development trend of the industry and the resource endowment of the enterprise itself, and combines the stable risk control system and the dynamic value evaluation system, and has successively completed in AR, semiconductor, new energy and other fields Many investments.
Intelligence is the determined direction of the development of the automobile industry. Under the empowerment of intelligence, a series of changes have taken place in the structure of automobiles. At present, the automotive electronic and electrical architecture is evolving from a relatively independent distributed system to a centralized domain control system and central computing architecture. The domain controller is the product of the integration process of the automotive electronic and electrical architecture.
In the future, Moxin Semiconductor will continue to be committed to creating and providing automotive control chips with the highest functional safety, high reliability, and high performance, and will go all out to seize a strategic opportunity for automotive architecture upgrades and supply chain localization.
