Yitai Intelligence completes over 200 million yuan Series A financing; automotive-grade switch chip ETLX610 has been mass-produced and installed in over 100,000 vehicles
High-speed interconnect chip manufacturer Yitai Intelligence has completed over 200 million yuan in Series A financing. The A3 round was led by Xichuang Capital, with Jintou Zhiyuan and Hongshan Capital participating. The funds will be used for mass production and delivery of edge-side switch chips and for building a talent pipeline. Its first-generation automotive-grade switch chip, ETLX610, has been mass-produced on multiple platform models of a leading OEM, with the number of vehicles on the road exceeding 100,000. The company says it has become the domestic supplier with the largest shipment volume of automotive Ethernet switch chips. The first-generation industrial-grade chip, ETLX810, has been deployed in national key projects and is used at scale by end customers in power grids, high-speed rail, aviation and other sectors.

On November 2, 2026, high-speed interconnect chip maker Yitai Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yitai Intelligent") announced the completion of over 200 million yuan in Series A funding, with the A3 round led by Xichuang Investment, followed by Jintou Zhiyuan and Hongshan Capital. This round of funding will be used for the mass production and delivery of edge-side switching chips and the continued building of a top-tier talent pipeline, as the company advances into the first tier of domestic high-speed interconnect chips.
In 2026, the company achieved two-way breakthroughs with leading automakers and national projects. Wang Xingchen, Vice President of Yitai Intelligent, said: "The company's first-generation automotive-grade switching chip, ETLX610, has already entered large-scale mass production on multi-platform models of a leading OEM, with the number of vehicles on the road exceeding 100,000; other OEMs are progressively moving into mass production in tiers, and Yitai Intelligent is currently the top supplier of automotive Ethernet switching chips in China by shipment volume. With the successive mass production of other commercial vehicles, unmanned vehicles, and eVTOLs, the company's automotive-grade chip sales are growing exponentially."
In the broad industrial sector, the company's first-generation industrial-grade chip, ETLX810, has been deployed in national key projects and has achieved large-scale application with end customers in power grids, high-speed rail, and aviation. Leveraging technical capabilities accumulated over many years, Yitai Intelligent has undertaken national projects, led the completion of national standard formulation, and is deeply involved in building the underlying communications infrastructure of core industries.
Specific applications of Ethernet chips in hydropower stations and humanoid robots
The commercial closed loop in the automotive and broad industrial sectors is driving the company's edge-side switching chips to extend into cutting-edge fields. At present, Infineon and Texas Instruments have begun using Single Pair Ethernet to drive humanoid robots. In future edge-side scenarios, high-bandwidth, low-latency, highly reliable, deterministic general-purpose Ethernet technology is expected to become the optimal interconnect solution.
Building on its fully established team, Yitai Intelligent has in recent years successively brought in a co-founder-level head of automotive commercialization, a top international architect, and a high-speed interconnect team.
Zhong Jianfeng, founder of Yitai Intelligent, said: "Entrepreneurship is a process of continuously accumulating talent; in the course of development, we must constantly raise our strongest strengths and continuously inject into the team key players with a global perspective who are willing to change the world."
After this round of funding, the company will actively lay out ultra-node interconnect in intelligent computing networks.
