About Yuntu Semiconductor

Jiangsu Yuntu Semiconductor (YTMicro) is a fabless semiconductor company established in July 2020, specializing in the design and development of automotive-grade microcontrollers (MCUs). The company operates in the automotive electronics market, providing chips to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers. Its business model centers on a fabless approach, concentrating on the research, design, and marketing of high-performance 32-bit automotive MCUs while outsourcing manufacturing, packaging, and testing to reliable supply chain partners.

Yuntu Semiconductor was founded by a team with extensive experience in the automotive semiconductor industry. The founder and CEO, Geng Xiaoxiang, previously worked at Freescale, where he designed numerous mass-produced automotive MCU chips and industrial SoCs. The chairman is Wang Jianzhong. The core team possesses nearly 20 years of experience in designing automotive-grade chips. Since its inception, the company has secured multiple funding rounds from prominent investors, including Xiaomi Yangtze River Industry Fund, New Alliance Capital, BAIC Capital, and China's State-owned Enterprise Structural Adjustment Fund (Guodiao Fund). The first funding round occurred in August 2021, and by February 2024, the company had completed its Series B+ financing.

The company's product portfolio is designed to cover over 90% of application scenarios across the five major domains of a vehicle: body, chassis, powertrain, cockpit, and autonomous driving. Yuntu has developed four main series of MCUs: YTM32B1L, YTM32B1M, YTM32B1H, and YTM32Z1. The YTM32B1L series, its first product, targets applications like sensor control, lighting, windows, seats, and electric tailgates. The YTM32B1M and YTM32B1H series are higher-performance chips for domain controllers, complying with ISO 26262 functional safety standards up to ASIL-D, the highest level. The YTM32B1H, a multi-core MCU, is one of the first domestic chips to receive ASIL-D product certification. By May 2023, the company had established a complete product layout of "General MCU + Dedicated SoC," with millions of units shipped for its YTM32B1L and YTM32B1M series. Yuntu's products are developed in strict adherence to AEC-Q100 and ISO 26262 standards, ensuring high reliability and safety for automotive applications.
