Company Profile - NanjingQinhengMicroelectronics

About US

Nanjing Qinheng Microelectronics Co., Ltd. founded in 2004,
is an IC communication interface and full-stack MCU design company。

Qinheng specializes in connectivity technology and MCU core development. The company operates a full-stack development model based on self-developed transceiver PHY and processor IP instead of traditionally outsourcing IP integration models. Qinheng provides Ethernet, Bluetooth, USB and PCI interface chips, alongside connectivity/interconnectivity/wireless full-stack MCU+ microcontrollers integrated with these interfaces.

Our technology involves "Perception+Control+Connectivity+Cloud Integration": ADC analog detection, MCU smart control and driving algorithms, HID human-computer interaction, Ethernet/Bluetooth-LE network communication, UART/USB/PD/PCI/CAN and other interface communication, IoT protocol and Cloud services, dedicated to providing customers with chips and solutions for the interconnection of everything and interoperability between top and bottom.

Main brand:WinChipHead (WCH)

Product positioning: More professional and easier implementation.

Application areas: Computer Peripherals, Mobile Phone Peripherals, Industrial Control, IoT, etc.

Our advantage:Full-stack

Self-developed Communications IP, open the vertical system data chain between transceiver/controller/protocol stack We have been exploring fields such as single core and triple interfaces technology (one MCU core supporting USB, Ethernet and Bluetooth interfaces) for years. Physical layer PHY transceiver, MAC controller, software layer protocol stack and other major modules have gradually realized the full-stack of independent research and development, with IP-level professional core technology. On the one hand, the vertical system self-developed has improved the software and hardware synergy and improved efficiency and compatibility; on the other hand, the deep combination between digital and analog and RF respective research modules makes the product level more complete and the marginal cost lower. The current technology portfolio can provide long-distance high-speed communication interface chips, interconnect MCU with built-in Ethernet transceiver, USB3.0 high-speed communication MCU, Bluetooth wireless RF MCU, low-power MCU, high-voltage power management MCU, etc.

Self-developed Core IP, SOC combinations and hardware-software combination with multi-level microprocessor cores. Our self-developed 8-bit RISC, E8051 and Qingke 32-bit RISC-V cores have been applied at large scale and this allows us to focus on application optimization. We design the microcontroller to match specific characteristics of the intended applications. This includes transferring parts of hardware into embedded software or transferring embedded software into hardware to realize our implementations, which in turn lowers cost and increases flexibility. Based on 8-bit RISC core, we achieved ultimate cost-effective dedicated functional MCUs. Based on E8051 core, we achieved functional and hardware-controlled MCUs with lower learning thresholds. Based on RISC-V core, we achieved general-purpose and high-speed interface MCUs. For high-speed communication, the emerging technology of VTF has been introduced to greatly improve interrupt response speed. We are pioneers in extending byte/half-word compression for protocol stack applications. We pioneered extending WFE instructions for low-power applications in order to speed up response times. The world’s first self-developed RISC-V core general-purpose MCU was our product. It was also the first RISC-V general-purpose MCU with two-wire debugging interfaces, higher speed and less I/O resource occupation.
