As the demand for automotive electronics continues to boom, the automotive semiconductor market is expected to reach $110 billion in 2030. Among them, MCU, as the core of the automotive electronic control system, is widely used in the car, covering various fields such as body control, infotainment system, driver assistance, and powertrain control. Under the current trend of "four modernizations" in automobiles, automotive-grade MCUs have ushered in huge incremental demand.

Here is a popular science, what is MCU? In fact, it is also a kind of chip, but people in the industry prefer to call it a single-chip computer. It is a chip-level computer that appropriately reduces the frequency and specifications of the CPU, and integrates peripheral interfaces such as memory, USB, and drive circuits on a single chip. MCU has a wide range of downstream applications, mainly covering six major downstream markets. According to the number of bits of the processor, MCU can be divided into 4-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit. Different types of market demands.

According to data, MCU sales in 2021 will increase by 23% year-on-year, and the global market will increase to $19.6 billion. It is expected that the global market will maintain a year-on-year growth rate of 10% in 2022, and the market size is expected to reach 21.5 billion US dollars.

One of the protagonists of the global "core shortage" incident is also the vehicle-grade MCU. Multiple factors have contributed to a serious "core-lack" crisis in the automotive industry chain, which has led to huge difficulties in global automobile production. At this stage, the vehicle-grade MCU It is still one of the most scarce types of automotive chips. At present, the import rate of domestic automotive chips is as high as 95%, and Chinese automobiles are the market with the largest demand for automotive-grade chips. Based on the optimistic expectation given by the background of the higher-than-expected increase in the penetration rate of new energy vehicles, China's 2022-2025 vehicle-grade MCU market size will be 33.63 billion, 3.753 billion, 4.166 billion, and 4.593 billion US dollars; 2021-2025 The average annual compound growth rate was 11.22%.

Although the current automotive chip market is mainly occupied by overseas semiconductor manufacturers, these semiconductor manufacturers occupy most of the global market share. In the context of the current global automotive core shortage, domestic automotive chip manufacturers will usher in a historic development opportunity.

As a leader in the chip programming industry, ACROVIEW Technology is deeply engaged in the high-tech R&D and manufacturing in the field of chip programming, and works closely with domestic and foreign automotive chip manufacturers to meet the needs of the market and customers in a timely manner, and is committed to providing customers with excellent automotive MCUs Chip burning products.

Among them, the ACROVIEW automatic burner series products IPS5000, IPS3000 and IPS5200 are equipped with ACROVIEW's powerful programming core AP8000, which achieves high speed and high efficiency while taking into account the pick-and-place accuracy and ultra-quietness. The system supports a variety of extremely small size chips The programming of the package and the connection to the MES manufacturing execution system make the whole production process controllable and traceable, and provide customers with efficient and cost-effective capacity utilization. The above are especially important for the high-quality control requirements of automotive MCU chips.

ACROVIEW gathers the advantages of semiconductor automation equipment research and development in mainland China, Taiwan and Japan, takes customers as the center and strivers, regards customer needs as the highest instruction, and takes customer satisfaction as the benchmark for evaluation work. The advantages of products and services continue to empower customers.

Under the dual opportunities of the huge global market demand for automotive-grade MCU chips and domestic substitution, domestic automotive chip manufacturers need to focus on further increasing investment and innovation in the field of automotive-grade chips, to achieve a new breakthrough in automotive-grade MCUs, and have Stepping into the international market in order to reach a new level in the competition and cooperation relationship, ACROVIEW continues to empower and contribute to automotive chips. At the same time, Oncor will continue to forge ahead and strive to become a world-class provider of semiconductor equipment and solutions.
