Fabless IC designer spun off from Fudan University, known for smart-card chips, security chips and FPGAs.
Smart-card and security chips tie to repeat orders from government identity and bank-card programmes, while FPGAs, chips customers program themselves after buying, serve telecom and industrial equipment makers. The same company also trades in Hong Kong as H shares.
In one line: A Chinese Infineon-meets-Lattice Semiconductor for security/FPGA chips.
Moat: narrow (IP / patents, regulatory licence). Security-chip certifications and long qualification cycles favor an incumbent domestic supplier.
