Niche storage products have a perfect layout, and self-developed DRAM has brought new increment: the company has a layout in the three basic storage fields of norflash, slcnandflash and DRAM, and the product matrix is perfect. Norflash products of the company provide diversified product portfolio for the market, with a full range of products with 512KB to 2GB large capacity. 55nm advanced process technology has been mass produced across the board, and the shipment volume accounts for more than 40%. Nandflash products complete 1GB ~ 8GB mainstream capacity coverage and realize mass production at 38nm and 24nm process nodes. The DRAM products of the company achieved a breakthrough in its own brand in 2021, and mass produced the first 4gbddr4 product with 19nm process, which is widely used in consumer electronics, industrial security, network communication and other fields.

MCU business has grown brightly and its products have maintained a leading position in China: the company's MCU products have become the product line with the fastest performance growth, with a year-on-year increase of 225.36% in 2021. As a leading manufacturer of 32-bit MCU products in China, the company's MCU products have successfully produced 35 series and about 400 models of general-purpose MCU products, which can meet the functional requirements of high, medium and low-end products of different customers; Due to its good performance and reliability, similar products have certain competitive advantages in the market, and the brand value continues to improve. The core of products released and under development by the company covers armcortex-m3, M4, M23 and M33. It is also the world's first 32-bit general MCU product based on risc-v core, which has a competitive advantage in similar products in the market. In terms of process, at present, the company's products cover 110Nm, 55nm, 40nm and 22nm process, which is in a leading position in the industry.

Layout the industrial and vehicle regulation market, and the products move towards high-end: the company's storage and MCU product lines actively layout the industrial and vehicle regulation market, and improve the product competitiveness through more advanced processes and richer functions.

1) the company's vehicle specification flash products have been adopted in batches by many well-known automobile enterprises at home and abroad, and can provide products and solutions with high capacity, high reliability and excellent performance for on-board auxiliary driving system, on-board communication system, on-board information and entertainment system, battery management system, DVR, intelligent cockpit, T-box and other applications. The company's gd25 products fully meet the vehicle specification level aec-q100 certification, and the 2G high-capacity products of GD55 have also passed the certification. The 2MB ~ 2GB capacity of spinorflash vehicle specification products of the company has been fully paved, providing the market with national production vehicle specification flash products. The company's 38nmslcnandflash vehicle specification level products have been launched, together with vehicle specification level spinorflash, to provide more opportunities to enter the vehicle market.

2) the company continues to improve the ecological layout of MCU markets. In the industrial field, the company has mass produced motor drive chips, which can be used for electric tools, Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) , industrial automation three-phase motors, etc. In the automotive field, in addition to the existing applications in the automotive aftermarket, the company's MCU products are steadily entering the vehicle regulation market and actively expanding their applications in the automotive field. At present, the company is actively promoting the mass production of 40nm vehicle specification MCU products, which have been streamed and tested by customers. The product will be mainly oriented to the general body market. In the wireless field, the company also launched wifimcu to realize the connection to IOT cloud.

3) in the DRAM direction, the company's 17nm DDR3 products are under active research and development as planned. In the niche market, the DRAM products of the company maintain the generation difference advantage in the process, which is conducive to reducing the product cost. The close cooperation between the company and Changxin storage provides stable production capacity guarantee for the company's DRAM products.

Profit forecast, valuation and rating: the company has maintained the leading position in China in the niche storage field, with strong demand for MCU products and rapid growth of business.
