Micro-Nano Core completed the first round of financing of nearly 100 million yuan, and is committed to the research and development of AIoT chips, etc.

Recently, Hangzhou Micro-Nano Core Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Micro-Nano Core) completed its first round of financing of nearly 100 million yuan, jointly invested by Sequoia Capital China Fund and Peking University Science and Technology Achievement Transformation Fund under Founder Hesheng.

Micro-Nano Core was established in April 2021 and is headquartered in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou. The company develops ultra-low power consumption/high energy efficiency AIoT SOC series chips for a variety of electronic devices and the Internet of Things. It uses an embedded processor as the core and integrates high-precision/high-energy efficiency analog front-end and analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog conversion (ADC/DAC), embedded storage, high-efficiency embedded AI engine and other extended functions of the main control chip (AIoT SoC). It is committed to the research and development of smart Internet of Things AIoT chips and the application of advanced technologies, providing customers with continuous chip technology empowerment.

According to Founder Hesheng, the company's founding team comes from the School of Integrated Circuits of Peking University and the Zhejiang Institute of Information Technology of Peking University. The core members come from well-known domestic and foreign universities, as well as well-known domestic and foreign companies such as Huawei, Samsung, ADI, NXP, Silicon Lab, Huada Semiconductor, Hikvision, and SinoWise. The founding team has many years of experience in ultra-low power chips, analog/digital-analog hybrid, RF/millimeter wave, AI, etc., and has the ability to continuously create world-class technologies.

It is reported that Micro-Nano Core has four major technology systems in the field of AIoT SoC chips. Through continuous exploration in the fields of "ultra-low power event-driven chip architecture", "closed-loop adaptive near-threshold circuit technology", "ultra-low power high-precision sensor signal perception technology" and "high-efficiency embedded AI engine technology", it has significantly improved the low power consumption, high-precision sensing and AI inference performance of IoT products.

At present, the chip products of Micro-Nano Core have been commercialized in large quantities in industries such as consumer electronics, wearable devices, mobile terminals, home appliances, smart homes, and power tools. In addition to continuing to develop in the above-mentioned industries, new products will also expand their applications in new energy vehicles, industrial control, robots, drones, intelligent manufacturing, smart cities and other industries.
