Nova Semiconductor has established a foundation for large-scale mass production in the three-electric (battery, motor, electronic control) field of new energy vehicles, and continues to expand into applications such as intelligent driving, smart cockpits, body control and lighting, and chassis and safety, forming automotive-grade chip solutions covering precise sensing, high-speed connectivity, reliable driving, and safety control.
In terms of precise sensing, Nova Semiconductor launched an automotive-grade AK2 ultrasonic radar chip solution based on a fully domestic supply chain and compatible with the standard DSI3 protocol. The probe chip NSUC1800 supports cross-brand interoperability between master and slave devices, with a near-field blind zone of less than 10cm and long-range detection of up to 6 to 7m, making it suitable for low-speed sensing scenarios such as parking assistance. The automotive-grade rain and light sensor NSUC183x series offers solutions with different levels of integration, including AFE, AFE+SBC, and AFE+MCU+SBC, supports sunlight, rain, and HUD light sensing detection, and simplifies the design of automotive sensor modules.
In terms of high-speed connectivity and intelligent interaction, Nova Semiconductor launched the automotive-grade SerDes chipset NLS911x/NLS924x series based on the HSMT public protocol, supporting single-channel 6.4Gbps high-speed transmission. It has completed validation with leading domestic ADAS customers and is advancing toward mass production introduction. The automotive camera PMIC NSR90332XX-Q1 integrates multiple low-noise power supplies and diagnostic protection functions, and has achieved introduction and validation progress with leading domestic and international customers. In the smart cockpit field, the automotive-grade Class-D audio amplifier NSDA6934-Q1 supports four-channel output, with a maximum power of 75W per channel; its low-latency mode can reduce the audio transmission path delay by more than 70%, and it has achieved customer introduction and project design wins with multiple customers.
In terms of reliable driving and safety control, Nova Semiconductor launched multi-channel integrated half-bridge drivers, high-current H-bridge drivers, and multi-channel LED driver products for body control and automotive lighting. Among them, the second-generation multi-channel integrated half-bridge driver chip has begun mass production and delivery, and the high-current integrated H-bridge driver has achieved large-scale shipments.
In the intelligent chassis field, Nova Semiconductor provides sensing, driving, and protection chips around suspension, steering, and braking actuators. The NSD36xx series multi-channel driver chips, together with current detection products, support suspension solenoid valve control and fault diagnosis; the MT65xx series angle sensors provide position feedback for steering and braking systems, and the NSD3661/2 phase cutoff chips support motor fault isolation; the NSM41xx wheel speed sensors provide wheel speed signals for braking and vehicle stability control.
In the first half of 2026, Nova Semiconductor's automotive chip shipments reached 534 million units, with cumulative shipments exceeding 1.952 billion units. The company has obtained TÜV Rheinland ISO 26262 ASIL D functional safety management system certification, with maturity reaching the Defined-Practiced level. Multiple automotive intelligent chips from Nova Semiconductor have achieved validation with leading customers, project design wins, and mass production progress. With mature automotive-grade technology, a functional safety system, and system-level chip solutions, the company is building a reliable chip foundation for the intelligent upgrade of automobiles.
