About AnaBatIC Semiconductor

AnaBatIC Semiconductor is a South Korean fabless startup that develops and provides semiconductor products and total solutions for Battery Management Systems (BMS). The company was founded in May 2024 by CEO Se-Woong Jung, a semiconductor and battery expert who previously led the development of the Exynos mobile application processor at Samsung Electronics and oversaw Samsung SDI's mid- to large-sized battery business. He is joined by a management team of experts from the semiconductor and battery industries.

The company's core focus is on addressing the growing demand for efficient and safe battery usage, driven by the global push for carbon neutrality and the expansion of markets like electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS). AnaBatIC aims to localize the BMS market, which has been largely dominated by foreign manufacturers, by providing competitive semiconductor solutions. Its business model is B2B, targeting clients such as electric vehicle and energy storage manufacturers.

AnaBatIC's product portfolio includes Analog Front-End (AFE) chips, wireless Communication Processor (wCP) chips, and BMS Application Processor (AP) chips. The company has completed the development of its AFE IC, the "ABS8210," which monitors and balances the status of battery cells in real-time to prevent overheating and enhance performance, safety, and lifespan. This chip is reportedly the first in Korea to integrate core battery measurement and diagnostic functions into a single device. The company is preparing for mass production of the ABS8210.

Since its founding, AnaBatIC has achieved several milestones, including securing Series A funding within six months and a subsequent Series A follow-on round, raising a total of 15 billion KRW (approximately $10 million USD) by March 2026. Key investors include Smilegate Investment, Mirae Asset Venture Investment, JB Investment, IBK Industrial Bank, iM Investment Partners, and EcoPro Partners. In 2025, the company strengthened its technical capabilities by merging with C-Jain (or Csign), a firm specializing in analog design.
