Developed a scalable 48V mixed-signal design platform offering higher power handling, superior energy efficiency, and enhanced safety—enabling expansion into multiple high-value applications. CCFC3009PT RISC-V AI MCU Enters Tape-Out
 A cutting-edge high-end automotive AI MCU based on a 22nm RRAM process and RISC-V CRV6 multi-core architecture (6 main + 6 lockstep cores). Operates at 500MHz with over 10,000 DMIPS of pre-computing power. Features an integrated NPU for hardware-accelerated AI processing and supports in-memory computing—significantly lowering the barrier to AI integration in automotive systems. Performance rivals Infineon’s TC49X and Renesas’ U2B series, with superior cost-effectiveness. Applied in radar signal processing, battery management, motor control, and domain controllers for intelligent vehicles.Market Expansion & Client Coverage
Driven by China's "electrification, intelligence, and connectivity" transformation and national substitution policies, Guoxin has secured broad partnerships across the automotive value chain:
 Vehicle Manufacturers: Supplying mainstream models to major OEMs including BYD, Chery, Geely, SAIC (SAIC-GM, SAIC-GM-Wuling), FAW, Dongfeng, Changan, Great Wall, BAIC, XPeng, Li Auto, Seres, GAC, JAC, King Long, and Hozon Auto. Tier 1 Component Manufacturers: Maintaining strong collaborations with international and domestic suppliers such as Atech, Jingwei Hengrun, Kosda (Shanghai), BYD Technology, BYD Power, Yangtze Automotive Electronics, O-Film Intelligent, Yidingfeng, Ingenic, Aptiv, Songyuan Safety, Valeo, Weichai Power, AEOX, Wuhan Lingdian, Changzhou Yikong, and Kaisheng Power.From January to September 2025, automotive chip revenue reached RMB 79.98 million, a year-on-year increase of 73.52%, with strong progress in mass production and vehicle installation.
Application Scenario Breakthroughs
 Basic Control Scenarios: Achieved mass production in gateways, airbags, and instrument clusters. Over 4 million airbag MCUs and over 4 million automotive security chips have been installed. Instrument cluster and small node control chips are now supplied stably across major models. High-End Intelligent Scenarios: Made key breakthroughs in domain control, drive-by-wire, powertrain, and airbag ignition:
 CCFC3007PT is being mass-produced for ZCU/body and VCU domains. CCL1600B powers airbag ignition systems. CCFC3008PT supports advanced chassis control; communication chip CIP4100B tested in drive-by-wire systems. Acoustic DSP chips deployed in smart cockpits.
These solutions are gradually breaking the foreign monopoly in high-end automotive electronics."MCU+" Solution Ecosystem: Value Creation & Cost Reduction
Guoxin moves beyond single-chip supply by offering integrated, system-level "MCU+X" solutions that reduce BOM costs and development complexity:
- Domain Controller: CCFC3007BC (PowerPC architecture) with ASIL-D certification, supports OTA upgrades, multi-interface integration (CAN/LIN/Ethernet), and national cryptographic security.
 - Airbag Solution: Fully domestic "MCU + Ignition Driver + Accelerometer" chipset covering all vehicle types—providing full control over ignition circuits and collision data recording; breaks foreign monopoly.
 - Drive-by-Wire Chassis:
 
- Brake-by-wire: CCFC3010PT (ASIL-D) + CCL2200B (14-channel driver) for high-precision braking control.
 - Steer-by-wire: CCFC3008PC with fail-safe and redundancy features, suitable for EHB/SBW systems.
 - In-Vehicle Audio: CCD5001-based solution supporting active noise cancellation, sound field optimization, and speed-sensitive volume adjustment—mass production launched in March 2025.
 - Powertrain Solutions:
 
- Gasoline: Precise fuel/ignition control via CCFC2017BC/CCFC3007PT.
 - New Energy: Multi-motor integration with VCU/MCU fusion, energy recovery management—reducing hardware modules and boosting efficiency.
 - BMS for EVs: CCFC3008PC-based solution offering real-time cell monitoring, dynamic balancing, thermal protection, and OTA upgrades—passed PV testing and in mass production.
 - Information Security: CCM4202S chip (EAL5+, national crypto level 2) supports international (RSA/AES) and national (SM2/SM3/SM4) algorithms—resists attacks and integrates into smart cockpits, T-BOX, and C-V2X.
 
Guoxin, Nation Chip/C Core, came out with a pretty good MCU actually

Look at that. 22nm with RRAM. I assume this is with TSMC? Maybe in their Nanjing fab. I'm really curious about this RISC-V based MCU so looked up their description.
CCFC3009PT已经融合RRAM大容量存储、高性能NPU、高性能MCU内核技术于单芯片,后续将进一步探索将RRAM作为主算的阵列,通过其模拟计算能力,以极高的并行度和能效实现神经网络中核心计算引擎矩阵-向量乘法,并辅以必要的CMOS外围电路搭建存内计算NPU单元,从而解决AI引擎依赖于外部存储器的数据供给,无法彻底摆脱数据搬运的能耗困境。
They call it a high end RISC-V AI MCU, but it feels more like a reduced CPU.
