GigaDevice will showcase solutions at Electronica 2024 that will accelerate the future of the automotive and IoT sectors with the latest semiconductor technologies. Here's a closer look.
🟦 China’s GigaDevice Announces Automotive Innovations
GigaDevice showcased its technologies for next-generation vehicles. The company emphasizes advanced performance and reliability for automotive applications such as memory products and automotive MCUs.
GigaDevice offers a comprehensive range of automotive flash products, including 2 Mbit to 2 Gbit GD25 NOR Flash and 2/4 Gbit GD5F SPI Nand Flash produced at 55nm and 38nm process nodes. In addition, the performance of the GD32A7 series MCUs has been greatly improved compared to the conventional Arm Cortex-M4/M33. It can be used in a wide range of applications such as body control, lighting, and battery management.
🟦 Semiconductor Evolution and Market Needs Behind Innovation
GigaDevice’s focus is on the automotive market, which is experiencing rapid growth. In particular, with the spread of electric vehicles (EVs) and the increase in smart devices, there is a need for low-power, high-performance semiconductor solutions.
🟦 Summary
China’s GigaDevice further strengthens its technological leadership in the automotive sector. As the Chinese automotive market evolves, semiconductor technology that combines reliability and efficiency becomes increasingly important.
When it comes to automotive microcontrollers, Infineon and STMicroelectronics in Japan and Europe have long played a leading role. Recently, however, there has been a noticeable movement in China to develop its own MCUs and promote their adoption in Chinese-made vehicles. It is worth noting that these technologies are based on mature processes and are not subject to American export controls.
