Dio Micro's IPO on the Science and Technology Innovation Board was successfully approved: the full product line and multi-market layout lays a solid foundation for future performance growth

On April 11, according to the results of the 26th review meeting of the Shanghai Stock Exchange Science and Technology Innovation Board Listing Committee in 2022, Jiangsu Deao Microelectronics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Deao Micro) successfully passed the Science and Technology Innovation Board IPO.

Diomicro is an integrated circuit design company that focuses on the research, development, design and sales of high-performance analog chips. Since its establishment, the company has always adhered to the business strategy of "full product business line, multi-market development", and has continued to invest heavily in research and development to continuously provide customers with high-performance, low-power, and stable-quality analog chip products.

Adhere to the "full product line" strategy: signal chain and power management chips develop in parallel

As a leader in the domestic analog chip industry, Diomicro has always adhered to the "full product business line" business strategy, implemented the coordinated and parallel development of the two product lines of signal chain and power management chips, and successfully built up diversified product advantages.

At present, Diomicro's analog chip product models have reached more than 1,200 models, and its annual sales in 2021 have exceeded 1 billion. Among them, USB2.0/3.1 components, ultra-low power consumption and high-precision operational amplifier components, LED lighting semiconductor components, high-efficiency power management components and many other products are cutting-edge products in the industry.

The full product line strategy also drives the company's performance to grow rapidly and profitability to increase significantly. In 2019-2021, Diowei achieved operating income of 137 million yuan, 248 million yuan, and 508 million yuan, respectively, with an average annual compound growth rate of 92.74% in the past three years; the net profit attributable to the parent company's owners was 25 million yuan, 40 million yuan, and 165 million yuan, respectively, and the company's net profit has increased significantly in the past three years.

From the product perspective, the company's two major product lines, signal chain and power management chips, have achieved coordinated and parallel development. Among them, the sales of signal chain analog chips were RMB 68 million, RMB 130 million, and RMB 250 million respectively; the sales of power management analog chips were RMB 69 million, RMB 118 million, and RMB 257 million respectively.

Outstanding independent research and development capabilities, establishing a leading position in industry technology

As a research and development-driven company, DioMicro has always adhered to the development strategy of "technological innovation", taking core technology research and development and innovation as the lifeline of the company's development, unremittingly pursuing the highest quality of analog chips, and committed to providing customers with the best solutions.

In the field of signal chain analog chips, Diomicro's products include high-performance operational amplifiers, high-performance analog switches, MIPI switches and other series. The company's high-performance operational amplifier product series can provide both low-side sampling high-precision operational amplifiers with low power consumption and ultra-wide input voltage range, and high-side current sampling high-voltage high-precision operational amplifier products.

In the field of power management analog chips, Dio Micro's products include high and low voltage DC converters, IR LED drivers, a full range of linear charging, switch charging, AC/DC controllers, overvoltage protection load switches and battery protection chips, etc., providing system-level charging solutions from the wall to the battery. The company's DC/DC conversion chips and LED driver chips are used in industrial and security monitoring designs. The products cover a step-down series with inputs from 5V to 40V, with a maximum output current of 6A, and have a stable customer base.

Through continuous technological research and development and innovation, Diomicro has accumulated rich technological achievements. It currently owns 57 Chinese patents (including 27 invention patents and 30 utility model patents), 1 US invention patent and 26 integrated circuit layout designs. Its technological reserves are at the forefront of the domestic analog chip industry.

With multi-market strategies in full bloom, the company's performance will continue to improve

Analog integrated circuits are generally divided into signal chain products and power management products. Signal chain products and power management products have many categories of products, and each category has different series according to different terminal product applications. Therefore, there are many types of analog integrated circuits and a wide range of product applications. With its excellent technical strength, product performance and customer service capabilities, and full product line development strategy, Dio Micro's more than 1,200 products are widely used in consumer electronics, smart LED lighting, communication equipment, industrial control and security, and medical equipment.

In the future, relying on its outstanding analog chip design and independent R&D capabilities, Diomicro will keep up with the development trends of cutting-edge technologies in the industry, continuously strive for excellence based on existing products, apply richer and more diverse products to a wider downstream market, and provide high-performance overall solutions for customers' application needs. This will further enhance the company's overall competitiveness and help the company's growth to a new level.
