Memory Chips Powering AI and Smart Technologies
In the second half of 2025, the global memory chip market has officially entered an AI-driven super cycle. The most notable features of this market shift are "supply shortages" and "rising prices." Unlike the temporary supply tightness caused by factory production cuts in 2024, the core driver of this growth is the explosive demand from AI. The training of AI models, expansion of data centers, and continuous upgrades of smart terminal devices have all contributed to the high demand for memory chips. In addition, the shift of high-end production capacity to advanced processes has further intensified the supply-demand imbalance, ushering in a new round of the memory super cycle.Against this backdrop, Ande Electronics is actively strengthening its supply chain and technical services, aiming to provide customers with stable and efficient memory solutions, helping enterprises seize opportunities in this wave of AI-driven market growth.(Contact us for a quote) Core Definition and Classification of Memory ChipsMemory chips, also known as semiconductor memory, are semiconductor devices used to store digital data and information. They achieve data memory by electronically charging or discharging the memory medium to represent different memory states. The core functions of memory chips include writing, reading, and temporarily or permanently storing data. Based on the data retention characteristics, memory chips are mainly divided into two categories:Volatile Memory Chips:These require continuous power to maintain data. If power is lost, the stored information is erased. They are primarily used for temporary data caching during device operation, such as Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) and Static Random Access Memory (SRAM). Among them, DRAM is a key consumable in current AI computing scenarios. High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), as a high-end form of DRAM, achieves significant bandwidth improvement through multi-layer stacking technology.Non-Volatile Memory Chips:These can retain data without continuous power, making them suitable for long-term data memory. Common types include NAND Flash, widely used in solid-state drives (SSD), USB flash drives, and other large-capacity memory solutions, as well as NOR Flash for smaller-capacity, fast-read applications.Classification DimensionCategoryMain TypeCore Features and Typical   ApplicationsWhether data is lost after power offVolatile Memory (RAM)DRAM: Dynamic Random-Access MemoryRequires   constant "refreshing" to retain data, large capacity, low cost,   mainly used as main memory in computers, smartphones, servers, etc.SRAM: Static Random-Access MemoryNo   need to refresh, extremely fast but complex in structure, high cost, small   capacity, mainly used as high-speed CPU cache.Non-Volatile Memory (NVM/ROM)NAND FlashLarge capacity, low cost, but requires erasing   before writing. Used for high-capacity memory, such as SSDs, USB drives,   smartphones, and computers.NOR FlashFast read speed, can execute code directly, but   lower capacity and higher cost. Commonly used for system boot code, firmware,   applications in set-top boxes, automotive electronics, IoT devices, etc.Other ROM (e.g., PROM, EPROM)Varies by type, may be programmed once or   multiple times, but most applications have been replaced by Flash technology.(Contact us for a quote) Expansion of Memory Chip Applications The application of memory chips has gradually expanded from traditional consumer electronics to more high-performance and specialized fields. In smartphones, tablets, laptops, and home electronic devices, memory chips primarily handle data memory, program loading, and multitasking, providing users with a smooth and seamless experience. As device functions continue to expand, the demand for high-speed and large-capacity memory grows, driving performance upgrades in memory chips. Artificial Intelligence (AI)In artificial intelligence (AI) servers and data centers, memory chips play a central role. They not only store massive amounts of training data but also serve as high-speed caches for model parameters, supporting fast read and write operations. This ensures efficient computation for deep learning algorithms. High-speed, low-latency memory chips significantly enhance AI model training and inference efficiency and are essential components in both cloud computing and edge computing environments. Intelligent VehiclesIntelligent vehicles are another important application area for memory chips. In in-vehicle infotainment systems, memory chips manage navigation data, multimedia content, and applications. In autonomous driving and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), they store sensor data, map information, and vehicle control algorithms, ensuring rapid response in complex driving scenarios. With the rise of electrification and intelligent vehicles, memory chips face higher requirements for capacity, reliability, and longevity. Industrial Automation & IoTIndustrial automation and the Internet of Things (IoT) also heavily rely on memory chips. Industrial control devices, sensor nodes, and edge computing devices need temporary or long-term data memory for analysis, monitoring, and intelligent decision-making. memory chips with high durability and strong anti-interference capabilities meet the demands of long-term stable operation in complex industrial environments.(Contact us for a quote) Global Memory Chip Market OverviewThe global memory chip market is now highly concentrated and dominated by a few major players. Industry giants such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron hold leading positions thanks to their advanced technology and large-scale production. They have shifted production capacity toward high-value products like HBM and DDR5, while cutting traditional memory supply by about 25%, which has caused shortages in mainstream products such as DDR4.The memory chip market is mainly divided into two sectors: DRAM and NAND Flash. According to recent data, in the third quarter of 2025, DRAM contract prices increased by 170% year-over-year, and the spot prices of some memory modules rose by as much as 100% in a single month. Meanwhile, NAND Flash prices went up by 30–50%. Samsung and SK Hynix have already informed customers that DRAM and NAND prices will rise another 15–30% in Q4 2025, breaking the usual trend of price declines in the fourth quarter.This round of memory chip price increases mainly comes from a supply-demand imbalance driven by AI technology. On one hand, manufacturers have strictly limited production; on the other hand, AI applications are rapidly expanding, especially the strong demand for AI servers, which is greatly boosting the global memory chip market.(Contact us for a quote) Ande Electronics: Advanced Memory Chip Solutions For YouAnde Electronics has been deeply engaged in chip technology, introducing a series of high-quality memory chip solutions.

Drone Chips: UAV Control & High-Performance Solutions

Drone Chips: UAV Control & High-Performance Solutions
With the fast growth of the low-altitude economy, drones are becoming an important force in modern air transport, logistics, security inspection, and emergency rescue.They are not only new types of smart equipment but also complex systems that combine sensing, computing, control, and communication.As the core part of flight control, the performance of a drone chip directly affects the drone’s intelligence, control accuracy, battery life, and potential for wider applications.(Contact us for a quote) Working Principle of Drone ChipsThe control system of a drone relies on three key processes: data collection, computation and analysis, and control execution. The chip acts as the brain of the drone, managing the entire process from data input to decision output. 1. Data CollectionDuring flight, the chip receives information from various sensor modules such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, barometers, GPS, magnetometers, cameras, and radars.These sensors collect real-time data about flight status and the surrounding environment, including attitude angles, acceleration, speed, altitude, direction, and obstacle distance. This information serves as the foundation for the flight control system.The collected data are usually in the form of analog or discrete signals. The chip’s built-in ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) converts them into digital signals for further processing. 2. Data Processing and Control DecisionsAfter receiving the sensor data, the chip runs a series of control algorithms, such as PID control, MPC, or AI-based adaptive algorithms.These algorithms calculate control parameters like motor speed and servo angles to keep the drone stable or perform specific maneuvers.In addition, the chip performs data fusion, combining information from multiple sensors to obtain a more accurate estimate of the drone’s flight state. 3. Execution and Power OptimizationThe control commands are output as PWM or other control signals to drive motors and servos, adjusting the drone’s posture and movement.At the same time, the chip manages power efficiency. Through techniques like Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) and power control strategies, it balances computing performance with energy consumption, extending the drone’s flight time.(Contact us for a quote) Main Types of Drone ChipsAccording to task complexity, power consumption requirements, and system architecture, drone chips can be classified into several categories: Microcontroller Units (MCU), Microprocessor Units (MPU), Digital Signal Processors (DSP), Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC), and Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA).Each type has its own functions, performance characteristics, and application scenarios, together supporting different levels of drone control.  Microcontroller Unit (MCU)The Microcontroller Unit (MCU) is the most common control core in drone systems. It is typically used in low-power, low-cost, and compact flight control units. The MCU integrates a CPU, memory, timers, communication interfaces (such as I²C, SPI, and UART), and analog-to-digital converters (ADC), enabling it to independently perform data acquisition, computation, and control signal output.In drones, MCUs mainly handle basic control tasks such as motor speed regulation, attitude stabilization, sensor data collection, and low-level task management (e.g., LED status control and power monitoring).Due to its simple architecture and low power consumption, the MCU is well-suited for small consumer drones or educational drones.For example, many small drone flight control boards use STM32 series MCUs, which can achieve multi-sensor data fusion and real-time attitude calculation while maintaining low power consumption.Moreover, the high integration of MCUs allows stable operation within compact hardware space, providing drones with reliable real-time control capabilities. Microprocessor Unit (MPU)The Microprocessor Unit (MPU) acts as the “central brain” of drones, offering stronger computing power and operating system support. Unlike MCUs, MPUs usually do not integrate memory or peripheral control modules; instead, they rely on external memory and interface chips for expansion, supporting complex computations and multitasking.In drones, MPUs are mainly responsible for advanced control and image processing tasks. They can run operating systems such as Linux or RTOS, performing complex operations including flight path planning, object recognition, obstacle avoidance, map construction, and communication protocol parsing. This high computing capability makes MPUs ideal for industrial-grade and professional drones, such as surveying, inspection, or heavy-lift drones.Additionally, MPUs often work together with GPUs or AI accelerators, forming a heterogeneous computing architecture that enables drones to perform intelligent image recognition and decision-making. Although MPUs consume more power, they are essential components for drones aiming for higher levels of intelligence and automation. Digital Signal Processor (DSP)The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) is designed for high-speed signal computation and real-time data analysis. Its architecture features parallel instruction execution, fast multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations, and pipeline processing, making it ideal for processing continuous signals such as audio, images, and radar data.In drones, DSPs are used for signal analysis and feature extraction.For instance, in vision-based drones, DSPs handle image filtering, edge detection, and object recognition, while in radar-based drones, they perform signal preprocessing, echo analysis, and target tracking. The high-speed processing capability of DSPs effectively reduces the load on the main control unit and improves overall system responsiveness.DSPs can also work in coordination with the MPU through dedicated bus interfaces, forming a dual-core system for control and signal processing. Such an architecture is commonly found in high-precision mapping or security drones, where it enables image fusion, positioning correction, and data compression. ASIC and FPGAAs drone intelligence continues to advance, Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become key technologies in high-performance drone systems.ASICs are custom-designed chips tailored for specific applications. They can hardwire algorithms directly into the hardware, achieving higher efficiency and lower power consumption under the same computing capability. For example, in visual recognition or AI inference tasks, ASICs can accelerate Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) computations, enabling drones to perform real-time recognition and autonomous decision-making. ASICs are often used in military or high-end industrial drones, where large-scale production and long-term stability are required.FPGAs, on the other hand, provide flexibility through reconfigurable hardware. Engineers can use Hardware Description Languages (HDL) to define circuit logic dynamically, making them ideal for rapid algorithm validation and custom data path design. With strong parallel processing capability, FPGAs are widely used for real-time data fusion, sensor synchronization, and high-speed communication protocol handling.In system integration, ASICs offer efficient, stable solutions for mass production, while FPGAs serve as an ideal platform for early-stage development and algorithm optimization.(Contact us for a quote) Ande Electronics: Driving UAV Innovation with Chip SolutionsAnde Electronics has been deeply engaged in the UAV technology field, dedicated to providing comprehensive support for various types of drone chips to help customers achieve full-chain performance optimization—from basic control to intelligent decision-making.

However, in complex scenarios such as power line inspection, forest fire prevention, and emergency rescue, industrial drones demand higher standards for long-distance, high-definition, and low-latency image transmission.The core requirement of industrial drone image transmission is stable, ultra-long-distance communication. In mountainous terrain or harsh weather conditions, traditional transmission technologies often face signal attenuation, severe interference, and limited range. The 1.4 GHz frequency band, with its strong diffraction and low-loss characteristics, has become the optimal choice, while a 10 W power output serves as the key threshold for achieving transmission distances beyond 30 km.Under this trend, the RF power amplifier (PA) has become the core component of drone communication systems, which must deliver high power output while ensuring clear and stable signal transmission.(Contact us for a quote) 12V LDMOS Tech Powers Industrial UAV TransmissionThe radio frequency power amplifier (PA) is the core of UAV video transmission systems, directly determining transmission distance and signal quality.For a long time, mainstream GaAs (gallium arsenide) solutions have shown limitations in scenarios above 5W:l  Poor heat dissipation: GaAs has only one-third the thermal conductivity of silicon, leading to performance degradation under high temperatures;l  Weak voltage tolerance: Reliability suffers in extreme environments such as high temperatures and vibrations;l  High cost: Exceeding 5W requires additional heat dissipation and protection designs, which conflicts with the lightweight design needs of UAVs.In this context, Huatai Electronics uses years of LDMOS process expertise to create a full-voltage coverage platform, providing a solid technical foundation for industrial UAV video transmission solutions.Addressing industry challenges, Huatai’s 12V LDMOS PA solution offers high heat dissipation, high voltage tolerance, and wide-temperature stability, capable of stable 10W output for long-distance transmission over 30 km. Its efficiency and gain surpass GaAs solutions of the same power level. Additionally, the 12V design is fully compatible with UAV lithium battery power systems, eliminating the need for step-up circuits, while low Q factor and low impedance simplify circuit design and reduce development and debugging costs.In terms of market adoption, Huatai Electronics’ products have passed performance certification, enabling the large-scale application of high-power UAV video transmission.(Contact us for a quote) Ande Electronics: Empowering the Future of UAV ApplicationsAs a key distribution partner of Huatai Electronics, Ande Electronics actively addresses the technological upgrade demands of industrial UAV video transmission, comprehensively supporting the future development of UAV applications.In terms of product supply, Ande Electronics focuses on Huatai Electronics’ core products, forming a complete component matrix that meets all UAV video transmission requirements.
