The demand for the quality of life of the new generation of young consumers is gradually increasing, not only Xiaomi to develop smart home, ZTE Corporation also recently announced in Beijing that smart "smart home" will become the mainstream of the market, and the rise of smart home is bound to trigger a rapid rise in demand for MCU, many MCU manufacturers are expected to usher in huge business opportunities.

MCU is one of the key components of every device of the Internet of things in the future, and it is also the foundation of tens of billions of terminal nodes of the Internet of things. It is responsible for intelligent control, network connection, wireless transmission, man-machine interface interaction system, such as toys, home appliances, cars and so on.

The IC chips needed for smart homes are roughly the same as the mainstream chips of the Internet of things. The data processing, processing and transmission of the Internet of things are inseparable from MCU. Under the development trend of the Internet of things (IoT), energy conservation, sense of security testing, 3C products, medical and automotive electronics applications have become hot application fields of MCU.

At present, the industrial Internet of things, wearable devices and smart home are the main driving forces of the MCU market, and 32-bit is an important field driving the growth of MCU. Although 8-bit still has a place, with the increasing requirements of the Internet of things for data processing capabilities, 32-bit MCU is bound to become the mainstream of the market.

In fact, 32-bit MCU has played an important role in motor and frequency conversion control, security monitoring, fingerprint identification, touch keys and other applications. According to annual statistics, the global shipments of 32-bit MCU last year have exceeded the sum of 4-bit 8 / 16-bit MCU. It can be seen that with the improvement of the intelligent level of household appliances and the increasing demand for human-computer interface and information interaction, 32-bit high-performance applications have significant advantages.

Smart Micro is a leading supplier of GM 32-bit MCU products and solutions in China. The MM32 MCU products based on Arm Cortex-M series kernel have five series of F/L/SPIN/W/P and more than 200models, which are in the forefront of the local general 32-bit MCU company. MM32 MCU is widely used in automotive electronics, industry, motor, home appliances, medical care, consumer toys, mobile phone tablet periphery, display and interaction and other fields. Every year, nearly tens of millions of excellent products equipped with smart microelectronic MM32 MCU are delivered to customers. It can provide customers with all-round support from excellent chip products to core algorithms and from complete reference design to machine development, and really provide low-level technical drive and support for China's electronic information industry.

It is undeniable that the growth momentum of the MCU market will be driven by "smart home" in the future. GFK, the world's largest market survey agency, disclosed that 50% of 7000 consumers in seven countries around the world think that smart home will have an impact on their lives, and Chinese consumers account for the highest proportion of these people, which means that more and more families in China are increasingly favored for high-priced smart home appliances. In the future, the price gap between ordinary household appliances and smart home appliances is expected to gradually narrow, and this market will have explosive growth power to be reckoned with.

According to a report by Researchand Markets, a research institution, the global market for smart home devices and services will grow at an annual rate of 8% to 10% in the next five years. With the steady development of China's economy, the compound growth rate of China's smart home market will exceed 20%, which will bring huge market demand for MCU.

With the rapid development of the Internet of things, smart home can grow synchronously. At present, more and more enterprises are making greater efforts to enter new market areas, such as Qualcomm, NXP, ARM, MarWell, Atmel and Italian-French Semiconductor, etc., while domestic manufacturers, including MediaTek, Smart Micro, Xintang, etc., are actively seizing the MCU market pie.
