On November 15, 2017, "Pingdi Chunlei-Yixin Technology NVMe SSD Master Control Chip Press Conference" was held in Beijing National Convention Center. Shen Fei, founder and CEO of the company, reported to more than 300 guests on its mission, vision and STAR 1000 product performance. Ding Wenwu, General Manager of National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund Corporation, Director of Integrated Circuit Division of Electronic Information Department of Ministry of Industry and Information, and Lin Rongjian, Asia-Pacific President of Synopsys Xinsi Technology also addressed the meeting. On November 15, Pingdi Chunlei-Yixin Technologies NVMe SSD Chip Press Conference was held in Beijing National Conference Center. More than 300 guests from government agencies, strategic customers, partners and news media came to the scene to witness the release of STAR 1000 with Yixin Technologies. Lite-On also demonstrated the solid-state hard disk product T10 PLUS based on STAR 1000 chip.
Shen Fei, founder/CEO of YIKI Technologies, reviewed the company's entrepreneurship at the opening of the launch meeting. Founded in November 2015, Yixin Technology is the earliest start-up enterprise devoted to the research and development of high-performance SSD master chips in China. The company has always been aiming at world-class chips and solutions companies, taking domestic main control and assisting information security as its responsibility. After the verification of FPGA technology and MB1000 prototype chips, it has successfully launched the first domestic commercial NVMe SSD master chip STAR1000.
According to the introduction, STAR 1000 is a high-performance NVMe SSD main control chip of high-end consumer-level entry-level enterprise level. It is the first master chip selected by the mainstream SSD manufacturers in the industry. It has the first-class reading and writing performance level in the industry, with sequential reading and writing performance as high as 3GB/s and 2GB/s respectively, and random reading and writing performance as high as 350K and 300K IOPS respectively. It supports the latest NVMe 1.2 protocol (StarNVMe? Technology) and mainstream MLC and 3D TLC particles (StarFLash? Technology StarLDPC? STAR 1000 uses TSMC 28nm HPC process and StarELP on-chip low power control technology to achieve work power consumption of less than 2.5W and standby power consumption of less than 5mW. STAR 1000 has reached the international leading level in terms of performance indicators and power performance. This is the first memory control chip to pass the PCI-SIG test in China. Memory core technology has become the first company with dual certification of PCI-SIG and IOL NVMe in the chip industry in China. At the press conference, Ding Wenwu, general manager of the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund Company, first delivered a speech expressing his recognition and confidence in the technology. He appealed to the government, society, capital and enterprises to work together to support the self-developed domestic SSD master chip and help "China Core". The realization of dreams. It is hoped that the technology of YIXIN will get greater development and contribute their due strength to the progress of the storage industry in China.
Subsequently, Director Ren Aiguang of the Integrated Circuit Department of the Electronic Information Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information pointed out that breakthroughs must be made in a large number of storage areas. He emphasized that the integrated circuit industry had a high investment and a long cycle. He encouraged the technology of memory cores not to forget their original intention and persevere, pooling resources, and achieving greater breakthroughs in market share.
As the first customer of STAR 1000 chip, Zeng Huanxiong, CEO of Lite-On Storage Group, congratulated him by video. Mr. Zeng expressed his admiration for the strength and efficiency of the team. He also said that in recent years, the semiconductor industry in China has developed vigorously. In two years, the company has developed such a high-end product, which is the strength of the domestic semiconductor design industry. The best evidence. Hope to develop more new products in the future and create win-win situation!
Subsequently, Fu Renjie, senior research and development officer of Lite-On Storage Group, reviewed the process of cooperation with Yixin Technologies, expressed appreciation for the team's spirit of hard work, and announced that Guangbao Technologies T10 PLUS solid-state hard disk would be sold soon. T10 PLUS uses STAR 1000 as the main control chip and carries Toshiba's latest 3D flash memory particles. It is the first solid-state hard disk product developed by Guangbao Technology with domestic high-end main control as its core. The performance of T10 PLUS solid state hard disk achieves the leading 4K random reading IOPS 320K and 4K random writing IOPS 275K.
Today, with the development of integrated circuit industry, the research and development of chips can not be separated from the cooperation of ecosphere. Lin Rongjian, Asia-Pacific president of Synopsys, praises YICON as a team of light speed. He also congratulates YICON on successfully launching STAR 1000 and landing with Lite-On. At the same time, he congratulates China's semiconductor industry. From then on, there is another shining star in the sky, STARBLAZE. Technology!
Looking ahead to the company's product planning in the next few years, CEO Shen Fei passionately expressed that following the launch of STAR 1000 in 2017, Uranus series chips will be launched in 2018 to support up to 32TB storage capacity and up to millions of concurrent access to data centers and monitoring areas; Sirius series chips will be launched in 2019, which will be more powerful through the introduction of operating systems. Operational power and in-depth learning will enter the emerging market of smart storage. Orion series chips will be launched in 2020, which is a fully integrated chip of storage, computing and network. It will help storage evolve from traditional storage disks to storage servers and serve the evolving data centers. Through this series of products, Yixin Technology will ultimately realize its "China Core, World Dream".
