With the rapid development of new energy vehicles (EVs) and autonomous driving technology, smart cockpits and in-vehicle AI have become key differentiators for automakers. However, the accelerating pace of technological iteration has placed significant supply chain management pressure on previous-generation or excess automotive-grade chips. Leveraging nearly 30 years of deep expertise in the global electronic component recycling sector, Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Mingjiada”) recently announced an expansion of its acquisition efforts for automotive-grade memory chips and in-vehicle AI processors. The initiative aims to revitalize industry inventory and provide a one-stop solution for the efficient recycling of hardware in the AI era.
Surge in Demand for Automotive-Grade Chips: Mingjiada Seizes the Opportunity
Amid the trend of “software-defined vehicles,” the number of chips required for a smart car has surged from hundreds in traditional internal combustion engine vehicles to thousands. Among these, automotive-grade memory chips (used for data logging and system operations) and high-performance SoCs (used for AI computing and cockpit interaction) account for a significant portion of the vehicle’s BOM cost.
Mingjiada Electronics’ procurement manager stated: “ “There is currently a large volume of engineering surplus, obsolete, and discontinued materials on the market, particularly automotive-grade chips compliant with the AEC-Q100 standard. For original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers, this represents an inventory burden; however, for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) urgently needing these components to maintain after-sales service or fulfill specific production orders, these are ‘hard currency.’ Mingjiada’s role is to break down this supply-demand barrier through professional acquisition and testing.”
Acquisition Matrix: Automotive-Grade Storage and Core Computing Platforms
The materials Mingjiada is currently seeking to purchase at premium prices are primarily divided into two major categories: smart computing platforms and automotive-grade storage, covering every stage from perception and decision-making to execution.
1. Core Brands for In-Vehicle AI and Smart Cockpits
The focus of our procurement lies not only in “processing” but also in “recycling.” For current mainstream smart cockpit domain controllers and autonomous driving domain controllers, Mingjiada is prioritizing the acquisition of the following brands and series:
Renesas: Acquiring the entire R-Car series, including the H3, M3, E3, and the latest V4H series. These chips serve as the “brains” of top-tier smart cockpits and ADAS systems.
Infineon: In addition to the SEMPER™ series memory, acquiring the AURIX™ TC3xx/TC4xx series MCUs, which are central to vehicle functional safety and powertrain domain control.
NXP: Focusing on the S32K/G series and i.MX 8/9 series application processors, which are widely used in in-vehicle gateways and edge AI computing.
Qualcomm: Prioritizing the acquisition of Snapdragon platform chips for smart cockpits, such as the SA8155P, SA8255P, and SA8295P.
Rockchip: Massively acquiring industrial-grade and automotive-grade AI vision chips such as the RK3588M and RK3576, which are in extremely high demand for aftermarket and OEM infotainment systems.
2. Automotive-Grade Memory Chips (AEC-Q100)
With the adoption of OTA updates and high-definition maps, demand for automotive-grade memory has skyrocketed. Mingjiada has entered “buying spree” mode:
Micron: Acquiring the full product line, with a focus on LPDDR4/4X/5 as well as automotive-grade eMMC and UFS.
Longsys: Recently stepped up purchases of domestically produced automotive-grade storage, particularly AEC-Q100-certified automotive-grade eMMC and SPI NAND Flash.
Infineon: Offering premium prices for the SEMPER™ series of NOR Flash (such as the S25HS and S26HS series), which are widely used in instrument cluster safety systems and communication gateways.
Samsung / SK hynix: Purchasing high-capacity eMMC and UFS chips used in in-vehicle entertainment systems and autonomous driving data logging.
Empowering Smart Cockpits: Why Are These Chips in High Demand?
In the smart cockpit sector, as the “one chip, multiple screens” architecture becomes widespread, demand for high-performance chips and high-speed memory chips has become tightly intertwined. For example, Renesas’ R-Car H3 requires Micron’s LPDDR4 to enable 4K output across multiple screens; while Rockchip’s RK3588M requires Jiangbolong’s automotive-grade UFS to enable rapid dashboard boot-up.
Mingjiada’s large-scale acquisition not only helps clear excess market inventory but also provides a supply channel for genuine, original parts to the aftermarket and small-to-medium enterprises that have halted production due to chip shortages. This is a key manifestation of Mingjiada’s role as a “buffer” within the electronic components supply chain.
