Recently, the Shenzhen Artificial Intelligence Industry Association (SAIIA) released the list of newly admitted members, and Shenzhen Luhua Technology (CSC IC) officially became a member unit of the association. Relying on the association's national-level AI industry platform, it will open up the collaborative channel between chip design and AI terminal industry, deepening the innovation of domestic AI underlying chips and the co-construction of upstream and downstream ecosystems. The official special report of the association is available at: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/fSa77hPp-LRkbgEw22Wqbw

The Shenzhen Artificial Intelligence Industry Association, registered and established in 2017, is the first 5A-level social organization in the artificial intelligence industry nationwide. It brings together over 400 leading enterprises in the industry chain, including Tencent, iFLYTEK, ZTE, and Yuntian Lifai. It has established an integrated platform for government-enterprise communication, technical exchanges, supply and demand matching, and policy empowerment. Focusing on core services such as AI technology implementation, joint development of industry standards, collaboration of domestic industry chains, and intellectual property protection, it continues to promote the high-quality development of Shenzhen's artificial intelligence industry. The successful admission of Luhua Technology marks the company's official entry into the core ecosystem of Shenzhen's AI industry, ushering in a new stage of development characterized by collaboration across industry, academia, research, and upstream and downstream resources.

With 29 years of deep experience in digital and analog chips, we have laid a solid foundation for the underlying hardware of AI terminals

Shenzhen Lvhua Technology was founded in 1997 and completed the registration and establishment of its main company in 2014. As a national high-tech enterprise and specialized, refined, unique, and innovative small and medium-sized enterprise deeply rooted in analog and mixed-signal chip design in Shenzhen, it boasts over 130 proprietary intellectual property rights and has achieved ISO9001 quality management system certification for its entire product line. After more than two decades of deep technical exploration, the company has established a comprehensive product matrix consisting of audio ICs, capacitive touch ICs, BLDC motor control MCUs, power management ICs, and customized ASICs. It focuses on four self-developed core technologies: digital-analog hybrid audio, high anti-interference touch, BLDC motor FOC control, and intelligent power management. The company provides underlying chip support for AI PCs, smart speakers, in-vehicle central control systems, IoT smart terminals, industrial equipment, medical instruments, and consumer wearable devices, making it one of the core suppliers of AI terminal interaction chips in China. At the product level, Lvhua's full range of audio CODECs, USB audio, touch, and MCU chips achieve compatibility with imported chip pins and functions, offering cost-effective domestic substitutions. Its entire product line is deeply compatible with domestic main controllers such as Loongson, Feiteng, Rockchip, and Espressif, and supports Kirin, Linux, FreeRTOS, and other information technology systems. It fully adapts to AIoT, industrial, and in-vehicle localization scenarios. The company has already supplied products to leading enterprises in industries such as Xiaomi, Honor, Geely, Hikvision, Uniview, and iFLYTEK Digital, and has successfully implemented various AI terminal products on a large scale.

Relying on the association's industrial platform, we aim to jointly build an autonomous and controllable AI chip ecosystem

Joining the Shenzhen Artificial Intelligence Industry Association is a crucial step for Lihua Technology to connect the upstream and downstream AI industry chains and deepen the collaborative layout of domestic chips. In the future, the company will fully leverage the three core values of the association's platform:

Industrial resource docking: Deeply connect AI algorithm, vision, voice, and terminal machine enterprises within the association, carry out joint solution development around AI interaction, intelligent control, in-vehicle intelligence, and industrial intelligence scenarios, and promote deep adaptation of audio, touch, motor control chips with AI algorithm software and hardware;

Policy and technology empowerment: Participate in industry technology salons, industry forums, and standard discussions, keep up with Shenzhen's AI industry support policies, synchronize with the industry's cutting-edge technology trends, and accelerate the iteration of automotive-grade and industrial-grade AI chip products;

Co-construction of the information and innovation ecosystem: Collaborating with domestic software and hardware manufacturers who are members of the association, we aim to refine the integrated solution of "domestic main controller + Luhua analog chip", address the shortcomings of domestic AI terminal underlying hardware, and reduce supply chain risks for domestic enterprises.

The relevant person in charge of Lvhua Technology stated that the large-scale implementation of the artificial intelligence industry cannot be separated from the support of underlying simulation and control chips. The company will take joining the association as a new starting point, continue to increase R&D investment in AI terminal dedicated chips, leverage its self-developed audio, touch, and motor control technology advantages, actively participate in various industry exchanges and supply-demand matching activities organized by the association, and complement each other's strengths and share resources with member enterprises of the association.

Future Outlook: Based on chips, empowering the localization and upgrading of the AI industry

Focusing on medium and long-term development, Lihua Technology will adhere to its independent research and development path, continuously increase its investment in the AIoT, automotive, and industrial high-end chip markets, enrich its portfolio of high-performance, low-power, and high-integration chip products, and strengthen its ability to provide customized ASIC full-process development services. At the same time, relying on the platform of the Shenzhen Artificial Intelligence Industry Association, it will deepen upstream and downstream industry collaboration, continuously deliver high-reliability and cost-effective domestic analog chip solutions, and work with industry partners to build a new ecosystem of domestically produced semiconductors and artificial intelligence integration industries that are autonomous, controllable, secure, and stable, thereby contributing to the high-quality development of the domestic AI industry.
