Dior Microelectronics is a hybrid analog semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) design company that provides solutions for the high performance analog mixed-signal semiconductor industry. Service markets include LED commercial lighting, security/Internet of Things, mobile phones, e-cigarettes, Bluetooth headsets, sweeping Robotics, medical electronics and industrial electronics.
Its core products include: LED lighting IC chip, USB2.0/3.0 product IC chip, ultra low power and low noise amplifier IC chip, high efficiency power management IC chip and IC chip used in various analog audio/video.
Here is a brief introduction to the concept of analog chips. Chips can be divided into two categories: analog chips and digital chips.
Analog chip: Processing analog signals. Various types and subdivisions, including analog-to-digital converter (ADC), amplifier chip, power management chip, PLL, etc. Digital chip: Perform logic operations. CPU, memory chip and various DSP chips It belongs to this category. Dior Microelectronics cuts into the field of analog chips. There are many types of analog chips, each of which has its own characteristics. Especially as the demand side is in the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence. The popularization of other applications will lead to a huge amount of front-end data collection requirements, which are inseparable from the support of analog chips.
Cheng Yan, founding partner of Wo Yan Capital, said that the market size of global analog chips in 2017 was about 54.5 billion US dollars. However, compared with TI, Infineon, Anson and other international analog IC giants, China's analog IC industry is still relatively weak. The self-sufficiency rate of domestic chips is less than 10%.
However, the demand for analog chips in the Chinese market is very strong. Nearly half of the world's analog chips are sold in China. Coupled with the current domestic governments at all levels, the Chinese analog chip industry has great opportunities for development.
Talking about the competitive advantage of Dior Microelectronics, founder Qi Jianhong said:
We have nearly 20 years of experience in the design and management of analog IC chips, and have also invested heavily in R&D investment in chip manufacturing processes and material development, and are equipped with professional AE and Lab TEST teams. It has laid a good foundation for the company's comprehensive competitiveness in the overall technical solution of analog chips.
In terms of supply chain, Diomei has established strategic partnerships with wafer foundries Taiwan UMC and Dongbu Hitek and domestic packaging giant Nantong Fujitsu (the listed company 'Tongfu Micropower'). Effectively guarantees the production capacity of Diomeo in the process of rapid expansion.
Talking about the importance of experience accumulation for analog IC chip companies and the financing situation, Yan Jianhong said that the analog chip development cycle is long, and the capital alone can not produce a world-class analog company. This time accepting Wo Yan Capital as the company's strategic investment. It is also expected that in the process of the future of Dior's move to the capital market, Wo Yan will be able to provide more value-added services to Dior Micro by understanding China's capital market.
Dior Microelectronics was established in 2010. The R&D headquarters is located in Shanghai Hongqiao Business District. It has subsidiaries in Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the United States, and has established offices in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Wuhan, Beijing and Hangzhou.
In 2016, Diomei was awarded the investment of 'Guotai IC Fund' established by Hong Kong Fortune Venture Capital Agency in Hong Kong and was invited to join the ECIA (North American Electronic Components Industry Association).
The company's core management team is from Fairchild Semiconductor. The chairman of the board, Qi Jianhong, graduated from the State University of New York with a degree in electrical engineering. He worked in Fairchild Semiconductor for nearly ten years. He has worked on IC chip products. Design, definition, application, technology, market and business management, before the resignation, is the general manager of Fairchild Semiconductor's Asia Pacific signal chain product line, concurrently the global switch product line director, has extensive product development and business operation experience, and international Vision.
