From June 28th to 29th, the 8th Jiwei Semiconductor Conference 2024 with the theme of "Crossing Boundaries and New Quality Future" was grandly held in Xiamen International Conference Center Hotel. At the same time, the general meeting of the Semiconductor Investment Alliance and the final roadshow of the 6th "Core Power" project selection were also held offline at the same time.
The 6th "Core Power" Competition successfully held 17 preliminary competitions, including IP, EDA, design, equipment, materials and other industry chain more than 100 companies participated in the offline/online roadshow, the project and capital to achieve accurate docking. In addition, the 6th "Core Power" Competition has achieved two major upgrades: first, field extension, focusing on "hard technology" hot projects, exploring hot projects from various fields such as new energy, artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductors, intelligent manufacturing, and automotive electronics, and enriching project fields and tracks; The second is to enter colleges and universities and increase the "transformation of scientific and technological achievements" roadshow.
In the end, 13 projects entered the finals, including many leaders in the field of domestic semiconductor equipment and new forces in the field of chip design, facing popular applications from automotive to artificial intelligence (AI), the projects have shown their strong strength in technical barriers, competitive advantages and disadvantages, and business models.
As one of the leaders of this year's "Core Power" competition, Shenzhen Jieyang Microelectronics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jieyang Microelectronics") stood out with its hard-core technology and cutting-edge products, and was unanimously recognized by the top domestic investor team and won the 2024 "Core Power" Most Investment Value Award.
At this summit, Jieyang Micro brought its first series of UWB system-on-chip GT1500 to the "Core Power" exhibition area, demonstrating Jieyang's strength in the fields of RF, algorithm, baseband and system-on-chip, and became one of the focuses of the industry.
Jieyang Micro is a high-tech company that designs independent and innovative ranging positioning and wireless connection chips and provides system solutions, with R&D centers in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. The company has strong scientific research strength, and its team members come from well-known communication and integrated circuit design companies and institutions. The company has world-class technical advantages in wireless algorithms, basebands, protocols, RF transceivers and system-on-chip (SoC) design, and holds several patents in Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology.
The GT1500 is a fully integrated ultra-wideband (UWB) SoC that complies with the latest IEEE802.15.4-2020, IEEE802.15.4z-2020, FiRa and CCC standards. GT1500 is the world's smallest UWB chip with the lowest power consumption and excellent performance, with the following performance: ranging 3 cm, and 3D Angle of Arrival (AoA) measurement accuracy of 3 degrees; It supports high-rate data communication up to 31.2Mbps, and has strong anti-multipath attenuation ability, which can communicate normally and reliably in strong signal attenuation environments. Very low power consumption, which can greatly extend the battery life; The smallest package size and significantly reduced number of peripheral components facilitate the development of cost-effective products.
At the same time, GT1500 is the first in China and the third in the world to pass the FiRa Alliance certification, and it is also the first in China to achieve mass production, breaking the monopoly of foreign manufacturers. At present, this chip has become the only supplier of Qualify UWB, a leading mobile phone customer, and has successfully been batched in two mobile phone customers, and the accumulated mass production experience can shorten the time to market time for customers.
Behind the excellent products is a strong team, the core team of Jieyang Micro comes from Peking University/Chinese Academy of Sciences/University of Science and Technology of China/HKU/HKUST and other well-known universities, the team members are top millimeter wave experts, with rich experience in RF, millimeter wave and radar chip design, and are also one of the world's leaders in the field of algorithms and baseband. The R&D team of Jieyang Micro has more than 40 people, who have worked together tacitly for more than 15 years, and the average work experience of the team is more than 20 years, and the team members are familiar with the formulation, participation and operation of international standards.
At the same time, Jieyang Micro and its partner Shenzhen Feirui Intelligent provide module chip-scale packaging SIP, which includes antenna and RF peripheral design, the industry-leading design greatly simplifies the time for customers to launch products, and also provides system solutions for production and testing instruments that have been verified by mass production, and the test accuracy is comparable to that of high-end instruments in the United States and abroad, so that customers can afford to use and use well;
Up to now, Jieyang Micro has 26 patents, including 11 Chinese invention patents, 2 American invention patents, 2 copyright registration certificates, 1 utility model and 10 software copyrights. In 2023, it won the "Specialized, Specialized and New" Enterprise in Shenzhen, the "National High-tech Enterprise" in 2023, and the 12th China Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition jointly organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education, and the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce in 2023.
Jieyang Micro said that the current huge consumer and IoT market lacks convenient, safe and high-precision indoor positioning solutions. UWB - Giving multiple terminals the ability to locate each other in space, UWB will usher in huge business opportunities for applications on the To C side, from the indoor positioning market, mobile phones, IoT applications around mobile phones, the automotive market to the AR/VR market, etc. The company's vision is to become the world's leading supplier of ranging positioning and wireless connection chip solutions.
