Designs special-purpose ICs (CPLD/FPGA, memory, MCU, analog) mainly for China's defense and industrial-control sectors.
Sells specialised chips to defence and industrial equipment makers, usually designed into a system for years, so revenue follows long procurement programmes and customers rarely change suppliers mid-programme.
In one line: A small Chinese Microchip/Lattice for defense-grade programmable and analog chips.
Moat: narrow (regulatory licence, customer qualification, IP / patents). Specialty/defense-grade chip qualifications create high switching costs and limited competition within China.
