I am very grateful to Hengxuan Technology for its continued recognition of the core technical strength of Anmou Technology. As China's largest chip IP design and service provider, Amou Technology always insists on building local innovation on global standards. With the solid foundation of our past cooperation with Hengxuan Technology in the field of intelligent audio chips, the two sides will actively explore cutting-edge technologies and emerging scenarios around the intelligent development trend of terminals in the future, and work together to create more market competitive AIoT chip solutions. "

Zhao Guoguang, general manager of Hengxuan Technology, said: "under the tide of 'Alliance of everything', the AIoT industry has ushered in new development opportunities. Hengxuan Technology keeps abreast of market demand and industry trends, and continues to expand its product category, and its business field has gradually extended from TWS smart headphones to smart wearable and smart home areas such as smartwatches. Amou Technology has a mature product matrix and professional technical team, which can provide us with strong underlying technical support. We look forward to further technical cooperation between the two sides to jointly promote the development of domestic terminal intelligence. "

The demand for intelligent terminal equipment continues to expand, accelerating the evolution of the AIoT chip industry.

In the digital age, smart phones, wireless headphones, smartwatches and AR glasses are expected to become the "new four pieces" of modern personal consumption, among which the users and shipments of TWS headphones and smartwatches continue to expand and show accelerated development. In addition, in the new upsurge of AI driven by ChatGPT, intelligent voice interaction devices such as intelligent speakers and smart homes are regarded as the next popular terminal entrance of artificial intelligence, and their product penetration is expected to be further improved.

However, with the continuous improvement of the intelligent level of all kinds of terminal devices and the accelerated expansion of application scenarios, the demand for connection delay, battery life and data security is also greatly increasing. As the brain of intelligent terminal devices, AIoT chip is facing many challenges such as computing power, power consumption, security and so on, and its SoC chip architecture is becoming more and more complex.

As a pioneer of the domestic AIoT chip track, Heng Xuan has a deep insight into the market opportunities in the field of intelligent terminal equipment, constantly iterating product research and development and enriching application scenarios, after years of deep ploughing, its current business has covered intelligent audio and video, smart wearable, smart speakers, smart home and other AIoT product plates. Thanks to the industry-leading product performance, Hengxuan Technology has been widely recognized by major head mobile phone brands, professional audio manufacturers, Internet companies and home appliance brands, including Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, Glory, Harman, Anke, Walker, JBL, Google, Ali, Baidu, Gree, Hisense and other international well-known brands, and covers the smart wearable accessories business of global mainstream Android phone brands. The main business is growing strongly. Up to now, Hengxuan Technology has shipped more than 200 million pieces of AIoT SoC chips equipped with Amou technology products.

Amou Science and Technology self-research business is fully empowered to help Hengxuan Technology to create high-performance AIoT chips.

As the "raw material" of chip design, IP plays a "cornerstone" role in the intelligent transition of terminal equipment. Amou Technology is committed to promoting the innovation and development of the domestic science and technology industry, organically combining local innovative self-research business products with the global leading Arm IP, forming a unique advantage in AIoT and other emerging fields. In the cooperation with Heng Xuan Technology, including "Star" CPU, "Shanhai" SPU, "Linglong" VPU, "Zhouyi" NPU, etc., Amou Technology self-research business products and Arm IP integrated high-performance heterogeneous computing platform, for Hengxuan Technology different product lines of SoC chips to provide strong bottom support; mature and extensive Arm technology ecology, but also help its chip products efficient research and development, and quickly enter the market.

Take "Star" CPU as an example, the embedded processor IP has been used in many generations of products, including Hengxuan's latest BES2700 series. With the blessing of "Star" CPU, Hengxuan BES2700 series chips have significant advantages in performance and power consumption, and have been successfully adopted by international and domestic head customers to help them build high-performance TWS flagship headphones. Specifically, "Star" CPU uses Arm ®v8 murm architecture, which can achieve the ultimate energy efficiency of 4.02Coremark / MHz; memory subsystem introduces tightly coupled memory and cache technology to ensure real-time performance and execution efficiency; DSP instruction and coprocessor interface greatly improve algorithm performance; system-level security scheme based on Arm ®TrustZone ®greatly simplifies software design and improves security capability. In addition, "Star" CPU provides a variety of optional configurations to support flexible expansion, which can be widely used in algorithms, protocols and other applications that require volume and computing power.

In addition to "Star" CPU, "Shanhai" SPU has built a secure and reliable computing environment for Hengxuan technology smartwatch chip and smart speaker chip. On the smartwatch chip, Shanhai SPU provides hardware, software and security services, from the chip IP layer to cloud security applications and security management, for full-link security protection. its core module TrustEngine cryptographic algorithm engine includes international common algorithms and Chinese commercial cryptographic algorithms, supports TrustZone technology and has a trusted execution environment (TEE). As for intelligent speaker chips, Shanhai SPU further enriches encryption and decryption algorithms and improves performance on the basis of the above characteristics. Its hardware encryption and decryption engine, as a secure trusted root, provides security capability support for more application scenarios and creates a full-stack security solution suitable for AIoT system.

In recent years, with the continuous emergence of new edge computing scenarios, heterogeneous computing technology is becoming more and more mature and popular, and the collaborative work between different computing units and even different devices is becoming more and more efficient. Hengxuan Technology is an important partner of Amou Technology, and the cooperation over the years has also confirmed the common concept of the two sides in the research and development of AIoT multi-core and heterogeneous SoC chips. In the future, Amou Technology and Hengxuan Technology will integrate their respective superior resources, provide more diversified, safer and more powerful computing support for AIoT smart devices, and work together to promote the innovative development of the domestic intelligent terminal chip industry.
