Industrial chips involve a wide range of applications, a wide variety of According to the perception, transmission, processing and other processes of industrial signals, industrial chips can be divided into computing and control chips (processors, controllers, FPgas, etc.), communication chips (wireless connection, RF radio frequency), analog chips (amplifiers, clocks and timers, data converters, interface and isolation chips, power, power management, motor drivers, etc.) and storage by product type Device, sensor and security chip six categories. It can be said that industrial chips have become a key support for the new industrial revolution and new infrastructure construction, and its design and manufacturing level is a touchstone to measure a country's overall manufacturing competitiveness.
Chip technology belongs to the light industry.
Specifically, we can judge by the difference between light industry and heavy industry. Generally speaking, the production industry that provides consumer goods for society can be classified as light industry, such as leather, ceramics, electronic application products and so on. Industries that provide production machinery, military and production resources to society may be classified as heavy industries.
Chip is also known as integrated circuit, since the invention of the date, it is as a computer, mobile phone such digital products to do the core processing computing components, and these digital products are mostly consumer goods, so it belongs to light industry.
Chips, known as the \"food of modern industry\
According to the data of the General Administration of Customs, the three largest industrial manufactured goods imported by China's foreign trade in 2017 are: integrated circuits, automobiles, and liquid crystal display panels. Among them, the import value of integrated circuits in 2017 reached 1.76 trillion yuan, which has exceeded crude oil for three consecutive years since 2015, ranking first among all imported products.
These three types of high-level industrial products are not only the current weaknesses of Chinese manufacturing, but also the main direction of industrial upgrading in the future. The integrated circuit is the core of the industrial upgrading roadmap because of its highest technical content.
