Yizhi Electronic Technology

Yizhi Electronic Technology (Eeasy Tech), established in 2016, operates as a specialized provider of system-on-a-chip (SoC) solutions centered on AI machine vision algorithms. The company was founded by Chen Feng, an industry veteran with experience as a founding engineer at Actions Semiconductor and Allwinner Technology. Eeasy Tech directs its efforts towards the research and development of on-device AI SoCs that offer general computing power, providing comprehensive system solutions for a variety of applications.

The company's business model revolves around the design, development, and sale of high-end processor chips and providing turnkey solutions for its clients. Its core business serves three primary markets: smart security, smart automotive, and smart devices. For these sectors, Eeasy Tech develops and manufactures proprietary intellectual properties (IPs), including AI acceleration, high-definition displays, audio/video codecs, and high-speed mixed-signal interfaces. The revenue is generated from the sale of its AI SoC chips and integrated solutions to manufacturers and developers in these markets. The firm’s product portfolio is categorized into the SV, SA, and SH series of on-device AI SoCs, each designed to cater to different performance and power requirements. For instance, the SH series is optimized for AIoT solutions like smart education and home applications, integrating self-developed Neural Processing Units (NPUs) and supporting various intelligent algorithms such as gesture and facial recognition. The company's solutions are embedded in a range of end-products, from car camera recorders and smart home appliances to AI-powered tripods and scanning translators.

Since its inception, Eeasy Tech has reached significant milestones. The company launched its first test chip in 2017 and achieved mass production of its on-device AI chip in the second quarter of 2019. That same year, it released its first AI SoC based on a self-developed NPU. A Series Pre-A funding round in April 2019 was led by Intel Capital, with participation from Northern Light Venture Capital and Delta Capital, aimed at furthering IP development. The company has received strategic investments from other venture capital firms as well, including China Construction Investment Capital. In August 2025, Suzhou Hesheng Special Material announced a significant investment, acquiring a 10% equity stake in Yizhi Electronics. The company's headquarters are in Zhuhai, with additional offices in Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, and over 85% of its personnel are dedicated to research and development.
