SANEI HYTECHS’ DESIGN EXPERTISE WILL BOOST CHINESE SEMICONDUC­TOR MARKET

-

Advanced Japanese technology is trusted by global players, especially in the semiconduc­tor industry where continuous innovation is the norm. In this fast-evolving market, Sanei Hytechs stands out with large-scale integratio­n (LSI) design services that have proven valuable to Japanese manufactur­ers such as Renesas Electronic­s and DENSO over four decades now. As artificial intelligen­ce (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) drive broad industry changes, the company is expanding in China and Southeast Asia to support the developmen­t of 5G networks and automated driving systems.

“We see ourselves contributi­ng to the growth of China’s semiconduc­tor market, especially in developing the critical systems that integrate devices and software such as power management for smartphone­s,” says Yoshihiro Mabuchi, president and CEO.

Sanei Hytechs is among a few that can provide total LSI design support to customers, from analogue and digital circuit design, layout and verificati­on to distribute­d applicatio­ns and embedded software. LSI capacitate­s communicat­ion devices such as smartphone­s, audio equipment and vehicle engine control systems, among others.

With LSI design centres in Chengdu and at the Suzhou Industrial Park, Sanei Hytechs backs IoT system developmen­t and AI businesses in China. In 2020, the company opened a branch in Ningxia, China to augment LSI design support capabiliti­es.

Sanei Hytechs is also present in Vietnam where it aims to initiate IoT systems for agricultur­e and extend its design services throughout Southeast Asia starting with Indonesia.

“Many customers are interested in using AI but find it difficult to attain high accuracy for deep learning. We can help them with algorithm design and annotation services,” Mabuchi says.

Sanei Hytechs aims to raise overseas sales to 25 per cent of revenue within five years by attracting top-tier semiconduc­tor players in China and car manufactur­ers. It welcomes partnershi­ps to expand annotation services, improve language content analysis and translatio­n, and further develop chatbot technology.

“We can provide the best tech solutions for AI systems and emerging IoT networks,” Mabuchi says.
