(ChinaIT.com News) On July 23, the Hubei Automotive-grade Chip Industry Technology Innovation Consortium disclosed important information:The first tape-out of 3 domestic blank car-grade chips has been realized.
Prior to this, due to the impact of the global epidemic, insufficient supply of chips, and structural adjustments in the auto industry and other factors, auto OEMs experienced chip shortages. However, with the development of new energy intelligent networked vehicle technology, the demand for automotive-grade chips has shown explosive growth. Realizing independent and controllable chips has become the development direction of China’s chip industry.
Zhang Yongwei, vice chairman and secretary-general of the China Electric Vehicle 100, previously estimated that in 2030, the scale of China’s automotive chips will be about 30 billion US dollars, and the number should be 100-120 billion per year. At present, there are 300 to 500 chips for traditional cars, and more than 1,000 chips for electric smart cars. High-level self-driving cars are even more “chip” users, and their chips will exceed 3,000.
It is reported that the Hubei Automotive-grade Chip Industry Technology Innovation Consortium was established in 2022. It was jointly established by 8 units including Dongfeng Corporation, China Xinke, Wuhan Lingdian, Wuhan University of Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Xinlai Technology, and Taijing Technology. It is committed to promoting the development of the near-local supply chain of chips, and realizing the complete independent definition, design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, and controller development and application of automotive-grade chips.
You Zheng, deputy general manager of Dongfeng Corporation, introduced that the consortium has achieved the first tape-out of three domestic blank car-grade chips, completed the first domestic car-grade MCU chip based on the RISC-V instruction set architecture, made breakthroughs in core technologies such as the definition, design, and process of automotive chips, and gradually realized key chips.
