The field of mobile payment SoC has long been dominated by large foreign companies such as Infineon, ATMEL, Renesas, ST, and Samsung. The share of domestic manufacturers occupies very little. This is because of the application of chips, such as secure mobile payment and smart cards. Security and algorithm performance, power consumption has a very high demand. National technology relies on its own advantages, and with the support of the Electronic Development Fund, it has launched a "fighting battle" against this fortress.
At the same time, the national technology also keeps a clear understanding of the market, that is, in the field of smart cards, the development of “one card with multiple uses†and “multi-function cards†will become the main development trend. National Technology Judgment: 8-bit, 16-bit CPU products will continue to be mainstream in the next five years in the fields of finance, government, social security, transportation, and identity recognition; and in the mobile communication and pay-TV sectors, it will take two to three years to host content. , security and end-user experience requirements, 32-bit CPU will gradually be selected by the market. As a result, National Technologies has developed the Zi1225 series chip with a 32-bit safety CPU microprocessor, which has superior processing capabilities and rich interfaces. It has built-in public key algorithms, a symmetric cryptographic algorithm engine, and other acceleration engines. It has high performance and low power consumption. The advantages of low cost.
With this “weapon,†national technology has accelerated its entry into traditional smart card application areas, such as large-capacity SIM cards, JAVA cards, and PKI cards, further breaking the limitations of foreign companies on this technology. Moreover, Zi1225 series chips have extremely strong competitive advantages in domestic and foreign markets due to their excellent price/performance ratio and functional differences. The relevant person in charge of national technology introduced that during the implementation period of the project, it has realized a high sales revenue and achieved good results.
The relevant person in charge of national technology also stated that on the basis of Zi1225, future will also develop a larger-capacity, higher-technical next-generation security SoC chip whose performance index exceeds the current international level of similar products. In this way, national technology can always maintain its competitive advantage and reduce the technological risk of the next generation of product development.
The dual-interface IC card chip supports the three major innovative electronic development fund special funds, and conducts forward-looking research and development on the development direction of national technology for industrial technology and market demand, playing a very good guiding and supporting role.
The National Technology’s performance on the dual-interface IC card chip project is equally exciting. Relevant person in charge introduced that this project is mainly for the development of dual interface card chips with completely independent intellectual property rights in accordance with ISO14443 Type A & Type B, ISO7816, etc.; obtaining radio frequency modules with independent intellectual property rights suitable for the application of tag chips; and implementing RF module design and testing of chips. The program and digital and radio frequency mixed design; realize the mass production of the label chip, break the monopoly situation of the dual-interface CPU card by foreign large companies, and provide a cost-effective, high-security label chip for the domestic dual-interface card industry.
National technology related personages said that the dual interface is an innovation point of the chip. At present, there is no similar product with non-contact interface and contact interface in China. How to control the power supply problem in different modes is the success of the project. The key to implementation. In addition, high security is another innovation of the chip. The introduction of home-made algorithms has not only improved the security of the chip itself, but also provided technical guarantees for localization in this area, and has effectively combated the monopoly position of foreign chips in this industry. In addition, high performance is an important indicator of the chip, this chip is based on achieving the performance requirements of foreign chips, and some of them exceed foreign chips, and can support multiple applications.
The birth of the Z8HCR fills the gap in the non-contact CPU card of China's commercial cipher products, breaking the limits of foreign technology and contributing to the development of China's national industry. The application of this chip is also very broad, and can be widely used in e-government, e-commerce, electronic anti-counterfeiting and other fields. “As the urbanization process accelerates in recent years, the demand for non-contact card chips used in public transport is also accelerating, and it is now estimated that the annual market is close to 30 million. When the Z8HCR reaches volume production, it is estimated that its annual output will reach 10 million pieces, annual sales amounted to 40 million yuan.†National Technology related person in charge said, “On the other hand, it is estimated that the successful operation of the e-passport led to the launch of contactless smart cards in the banking and financial industry, the chip’s Successful R&D will establish our company's leading position in the field of contactless cards, and compete directly with foreign chips. In the follow-up industrialization process, the company will launch higher-end non-contact CPU card chips to meet the development needs of China's e-passport.â€
The relevant person in charge of national technology finally pointed out that the support of the Electronic Development Fund has played a very good guiding and supporting role in the advancement of R&D investment in national technology and in the development direction of industrial technology and market demand. In addition, the support of the special funds for the Electronic Development Fund has enhanced the company’s ability to independently research and develop and the country’s major science and technology and industrialization projects, accumulated experience in product development, industrialization, and marketing, and further enhanced the competitiveness of the company. He hopes that the country will continue to support related industries and promote the improvement of the core competitiveness of science and technology.
Dual Interface IC Card Chips Realize Three Major Innovations
The mobile payment SoC breaks down the monopoly mobile payment SoC field and has long been dominated by big foreign companies. National technology relies on its own advantages, and with the support of the Electronic Development Fund, it has launched a "fighting battle" against this fortress.
