Do you still remember the omnipotent artificial intelligence "Javis" in the reunion? Yes, yes, it is the super artificial intelligence butler of Iron Man Stark - Jarvis, it will fight, analyze and even naughty and bicker, it is the ideal housekeeper for everyone! Is this dreamy smart life far from us?

Like “Flying Dreams”, smart homes have experienced a long process of accumulation and development from the initial impossibility to today’s “making dreams come true”. The initial development of smart home is mainly based on remote control of lighting, remote control of electrical appliances and electric curtains. With the development of the industry, the functions of intelligent control are becoming more and more powerful, and the objects of control are continuously expanding, gradually extending to the home security alarm. Video intercom, fingerprint access control and other fields, and is "invasion" of our lives in all directions.

Industry Trends

At present, various industry giants frequently move the smart home field. Internet companies, traditional home appliance manufacturers, and Internet companies have come across the border. According to estimates, the size of China's smart home market will reach 139.6 billion yuan in 2018; by 2020, China's smart home market will reach more than 350 billion yuan, and the intelligentization of home systems is the trend of the times. The rise of smart homes will also trigger the rapid rise in demand for MCUs.

The IC chips required by smart homes are basically the same as the mainstream chips of the Internet of Things. The data processing, processing and transmission of the Internet of Things are inseparable from the MCU. Under the trend of the Internet of Things, energy saving, security sensing, 3C products, medical care And automotive electronics applications, etc., have become a popular application area of ​​MCU.

MCU is one of the key components of every IoT device in the future. It is responsible for intelligent control, network connection, unlimited transmission, etc. It is not difficult to see traces in toys, home appliances, automobiles and other objects.

It is undeniable that the future growth of MCU market will rely on “smart home”. GFK, the world's largest market research organization, has revealed that 50% of global consumers believe that smart homes will have a major impact on their lives. Among these people, Chinese consumers account for the highest proportion, which means that more and more Chinese families yearn for smart life.

Chip application

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, smart homes have grown simultaneously, and more and more chip manufacturers have entered new fields. Major chip manufacturers include STMicroelectronics, Freescale, NXP, Xintang and China's Zhaoyi. For example, Zhaoyi's GD32F103 series chips can be used in the smart home field. Faced with such a huge smart home market, major suppliers are also facing a huge problem: how to mass-produce a large number of cores? At the same time, due to the special characteristics of some chips (small size, special package without adapter), these chips need to be burned online. To keep up with the production capacity, it is necessary to have an online programmer suitable for mass production.

The P800-ISP programmer from Zhiyuan Electronics provides mass production function, which can easily solve the mass production problem of the chip. The programming speed is fast, the programming is stable, the burning efficiency can be effectively improved, and the explosive burning demand of the chip is also required. Can be done easily.
