Multi-core microelectronics completes tens of millions of A round of financing

Recently, the world's leading flight time sensor chip and 3D vision solution provider Polycore Microelectronics announced the completion of tens of millions of yuan of Series A financing, the round of investment by Wuyue Huanuo, Changan Private Capital and Chunxiao Dongke in 2017 Completed. According to Focus Microelectronics, this round of financing will be mainly used for the mass production of ToF sensor chips, and at the same time promote the application and landing of 3D vision technology in many artificial intelligence scenes.

Founded in early 2016, Juxin Microelectronics Co., Ltd. is located in Wuhan East Lake New Technology Development Zone. It is composed of many returned Chinese people with rich experience in the industry. It is dedicated to providing high-performance hybrids in the fields of consumer electronics, artificial intelligence and automotive electronics. Innovative company for signal chips and their solutions. The company currently has multiple product lines including ToF3D sensing, sensor signal conditioning and intelligent audio. Its high-performance sensor signal conditioning chips have been shipped in bulk in the consumer and automotive markets.

Kong Fanxiao, co-founder of Polycore Microelectronics and general manager of ToF3D sensing product line, said that unlike traditional color cameras, 3D vision technology can bring 3D depth information to images. Through the perception and reconstruction of space 3D depth camera plays an important role in the key scenes of artificial intelligence such as face recognition, AR/VR, automatic path planning of robots and unmanned driving.

According to reports, compared with other 3D vision technologies, ToF technology has the advantages of excellent system cost, simple and stable structure, long measuring distance, and is more suitable for outdoor scenes. It is highly optimistic by users in the mobile phone, industrial and automotive industries. Apple will equip at least one ToF depth camera in a new generation of iPhones in 2019 to implement AR and virtual game applications. The major mobile phone manufacturers in the Android camp are also actively deploying ToF depth cameras on the next generation of flagship models. With the continuous evolution of technology and cost optimization, after 2020, there may even be two ToF sensors in the Apple mobile phone, leading ToF3D sensing and imaging imaging technology to become the standard for smart phones.

The ToF sensor chip, the core of ToF technology, has been monopolized by a handful of European manufacturers. The high-performance, high-reliability chips used in smartphones or automobiles are in the early stage of the industry, even in foreign countries. Offering mass-produced products to the market. The core team is from the birthplace of ToF technology, the 'European Silicon Valley' built by Delft/Eindhoven in the Netherlands, Leuven/Brussels in Belgium and Aachen/Siegen in Germany. Leading ToF sensor company, world-class microelectronics school KULeuven and TUDelft, and the world's microelectronics hall - Belgium IMEC Institute.

Here, the core team has accumulated nearly 10 years of industry experience, from product strategic planning, core technology research and development to market sales and many times to build a closed loop of the industry. It has created sales revenue from zero to hundreds of millions of dollars in three years. Industry story.

Since its establishment, Juxin Microelectronics has completed 3 rounds and accumulated a total of 40 million yuan of financing. Its sensor signal conditioning chip has been used for less than one year from design to small batch production, achieving the highest precision and lowest power consumption in the industry. Bridge sensor conditioning solution. And ToF sensor chip and 3D imaging solution based on this technology will be the top priority of the future development of the core.

Yang Huajun, founding partner of Wuyue Huanuo Capital, said: 'Innovative technology companies have always been the focus of Warner, and in the era of artificial intelligence, we are particularly optimistic about the application of 3D vision sensors in smart phones and smart driving. Electronics is a rare team with core chip and system solution development capabilities. This will undoubtedly make the core stand on a commanding height, not limited by a single product, and continue to meet demand in new product definitions and new technology development. Change is leading the way. We believe that the product positioning and industrial integration capabilities of Polycore Microelectronics are unique in the whole industry. We are full of confidence in the cooperation between Huanuo and Juxin.

Yu Fenggao, vice president of private equity investment in Changan, said: 'In addition to watching technology, chip investment also depends on the team. This is our experience of nearly ten chip investment sums in the past three or four years. We are optimistic about the core, on the one hand, of course. Technology is especially leading to ToF sensor technology, on the other hand is the execution of the team. We have been in contact with the team for more than 2 years, and we are impressed that there is almost no difference between the planning and implementation of the core. Step by step and steadily move forward. This is based on the team's clear grasp of market demand, rigorous and pragmatic R&D plan and tacit teamwork. On the core, we see all the potential to become an industry leader, Changan Private Capital will be firmly growing along with the core.'
