Three-Pronged Approach Synergy, Promising Business GrowthAfter years of focused development, Anlogic has built a complete automotive electronics technology chain encompassing "Chip - Solution - Terminal," providing strong support for innovative automotive-grade applications and the in-depth development of the automotive electronics field.Chip Layer: Diverse Product Matrix Meets Varied NeedsAccording to Yao Yang, Marketing Director of Shanghai Anlogic "Anlogic has now commenced a comprehensive layout of its automotive-grade chip models. Current representative models from our mainstream series include the PH1A100GSG324A/PH1P35MEG324A (Phoenix series), DR1M90GEG484A (Dragon series), and EF4L90CG324A (SALELF series). These four chips can be used in scenarios such as electronic mirrors, smart cockpits, and vehicle electronic control."Specifically, the PH1A100GSG324A chip features up to 127K logic cells, high-speed serial I/O, abundant memory and IP resources, meets the AEC-Q100 (Grade 2) standard, and finds wide application in smart cockpits, among other areas. The PH1P35MEG324A targets the lightweight embedded programmable logic market, integrates a RISC-V processor, and combines with high-performance logic, DSP, BRAM, and resources like MIPI DPHY to form a powerful processing core, supplemented by 512Mbits to 1Gbit of large-capacity high-speed memory, suitable for application scenarios like LiDAR and smart cockpits.The Dragon series products are positioned as high-performance innovative FPGA products, realizing cutting-edge multi-architecture integration of ARM/RISC-V + FPGA + specific hard cores. The EF4L90CG324A is Anlogic's fourth-generation low-end FPGA product developed based on automotive-grade device standards. It uses low-power process technology, offers equivalent 9K LUTs logic resources, supports up to 279 user I/Os, meets the AEC-Q100 (Grade 2) standard, and fulfills the signal fusion needs of increasingly complex sensors inside vehicles with its rich I/O and logic resources.Regarding market prospects, Yao Yang stated, "Automotive electronics is an emerging target market. With the explosive growth of China's new energy vehicle market, rapid global market development, and continuous upgrades in autonomous driving and automotive battery technologies, FPGA products are expected to experience a prolonged period of high-speed growth in the automotive electronics field. Currently, through continuous optimization of our layout, some of our automotive-grade products are already being mass-produced in mainstream domestic automotive factories. Moreover, the pace from design to verification to mass production is very fast, even exceeding our expectations."Innovative Solutions: Keeping Pace with Industry Trends, Expanding Application BoundariesAs vehicles evolve towards greater intelligence, electrification, and connectivity, automotive electronic mirrors are rapidly developing, becoming a standard or optional feature for many models. In this regard, the automotive electronic mirror solution based on Anlogic's chips uses high-definition cameras to capture images, presenting highly real-time external vehicle visuals, effectively reducing blind spots and meeting driver real-time needs. It offers strong scalability, allowing the addition of edge computing-based vehicle automatic detection and alarm functions, and facilitates BSD functionality and multi-channel video expansion.Yao Yang said, "Automotive electronic mirrors represent progress. Their advantage is a larger and more comprehensive field of view, covering the sides and rear. Furthermore, with the addition of electronic control, interaction with the vehicle's system can be deeper and more real-time, effectively reducing driver burden and enhancing safety. The electronic controller solution using the Dragon series chip demonstrates outstanding performance, power efficiency, and stability. Simultaneously, its built-in JPEG Processing Unit and NPU play a crucial accelerating role in image processing.""Dragon" Series Stands Out, High Market RecognitionAmong Anlogic's various automotive chips, the SALDRAGON? Dragon series FPSoC? device has become a focus, quickly gaining industry and market recognition after its launch, winning awards like the "Innovative IC Excellent Product Award" and "Market Excellence Performance Award."Anlogic released the SALDRAGON? Dragon series FPSoC? device in November 2023. This device integrates a hard-core processor system (dual-core ARM Cortex-A35 or 64-bit RISC-V), FPGA programmable logic, and an NPU, forming two product series: one with a hard-core high-performance ARM v8 processor and the other with a high-performance RISC-V 64-bit processor. It also possesses the advantages of Anlu FPGAs: flexibility, low power consumption, software/hardware programmability, and an extensible SoC platform. Additionally, the ARM or RISC-V processor, combined with on-chip RAM, support for multiple memory interfaces, and rich peripheral ports, provides a wider range of adaptation scenarios for applications.Yao Yang stated that since its launch over a year ago, the Dragon series FPSoC? device has been favored by a broad range of customers and industry users. "The main reasons for the Dragon series' achievement lie in our focus on learning advanced industry experience, staying close to customers, carefully listening to customer needs and feedback, planning products from the customer's perspective, and maximizing optimization and meticulous refinement of the product. This enables us to help customers significantly improve system performance and meet diverse needs."Strengthening Layout, Promising Prospects for Domestic ChipsIn its overall business development, despite fierce market competition, Anlogic has maintained a high level of R&D intensity. It has achieved continuous iteration of core technologies in areas such as chip hardware design, proprietary EDA software, chip testing, application IP, and reference design, further expanding its technical accumulation in the development and application of major leading product lines.Currently, centered on programmable devices, Anlogic has carefully built five major product matrices covering a wide range of applications from high efficiency to low power consumption. These include the high-performance SALPHOENIX? series, the high-efficiency SALDRAGON? series, the high-efficiency SALEAGLE? series, the low-power SALELF? series, and the SALSWIFT? system-on-chip series FPSoC?. They are widely used in industrial control, consumer electronics, medical devices, network communications, automotive electronics, and other fields. The company is committed to continuously providing cost-effective full-set solutions, contributing to the complete layout of domestic FPGAs.Yao Yang expressed, "After years of development, Chinese vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers have reached a tipping point in their understanding and innovation in the automotive industry, especially in the new energy vehicle sector, where they already represent the international forefront. The development and iteration cycle for automotive chips is relatively long, while market demands are simultaneously becoming faster, more diverse, and with escalating specification requirements. At this time, the programmability and flexibility of FPGAs are particularly suitable, able to meet the urgent needs of the automotive industry for rapid development and time-to-market, while also allowing for continuous and rapid iteration and updates."Anlogic is committed to providing customers with end-to-end rapid response and technical support, including a complete development design kit to ensure users can get started quickly and design efficiently. It offers a full-ecosystem synthesis and place-and-route tool, the embedded debugging toolset FutureDynasty?, SoC development environment and SDK, as well as various IP resources and software driver packages. Leveraging the original ARM and RISC-V ecosystems, it supports multiple OSes, stacks, and IP ecosystems, promoting customers' rapid realization from product design to market launch.With the accelerated arrival of edge computing technological innovation, and the continuous deepening development of vehicle networking and autonomous driving, FPGAs serve as an important "adhesive." Their highly parallel internal structure is suitable for assisting in achieving products with high real-time requirements, even adapting to neural network acceleration. Anlogic will continue to increase R&D investment and technological innovation in related automotive chips. A new automotive-grade model in the SALPHOENIX? series will be released in the second half of this year, followed by the continuous release of related products to meet the diverse specification needs of the entire automotive industry.
