Shenzhen Leaguer Microelectronics Co., Ltd. is a high-tech company under Tsinghua Leaguer, which is committed to the research and development of core technologies of communication and mobile digital TV and the design and development of application-specific integrated circuit chips with independent intellectual property rights. The company has a core competitiveness of technology, algorithm team, chip design team and application development team to provide innovative and optimized SoC (System-on-Chip) chip products and application solutions for the market.
From Tsinghua Laboratory to Science and Technology Innovation Board: The Industrialization Journey of Technocracy
The birth of Leaguer Microelectronics carries a distinct brand of "production, education and research". In August 2002, Tsinghua Leaguer and the international semiconductor expert team were founded in Shenzhen, and the company has been anchored in the technology track of power line communication from the beginning of its establishment. On July 22, 2020, it landed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, becoming the first listed chip design company in China with PLC chips as its core business, with a registered capital of more than 100 million yuan, marking that technology accumulation has entered a new stage of capital empowerment.
This team not only led the formulation of the national standard of "Physical Layer of Low-voltage Power Line Communication" (GB/T31983.31), but also achieved breakthroughs in core fields such as OFDM communication technology, Mesh networking, and SoC chip design, and built a complete independent intellectual property rights system.

PLC chip industry chain layout: a closed loop from technology to scenario
The core competitiveness of Leaguer Microelectronics lies in its full-chain technical capabilities covering "chip-module-solution":
-Chip layer: the most complete PLC chip product line in China, including narrowband PLC, high-speed HPLC, dual-mode communication and other series, and the new PLC SoC chip for smart lighting will be launched in 2024, opening the consumer market with high-cost performance;
-Application layer: In the field of smart grid, the company's chips have been applied to the State Grid and Southern Power Grid systems; In the field of new energy, its photovoltaic module quickly shuts down the driver chip to solve the industry's safety pain points;
-Ecosystem layer: PLC IoT Mesh technology is used to implement "no new wiring" networking solutions for scenarios such as smart homes and smart hotels.
This vertical integration model enables the company to not only serve large customers such as power grids, but also flexibly respond to emerging market needs such as photovoltaic and smart home.
Industry position and market validation
As one of the very few enterprises in China that has focused on PLC chips for 22 years, Leaguer Microelectronics has won double recognition:
- Standard discourse: Participated in the formulation of more than 20 national/industry standards, and the technical route directly affects the direction of the industry;
-Endorsement of top customers: Customers include State Grid, China Southern Power Grid and a number of A-share/Hong Kong-listed companies, and its 2023 financial report shows that its power IoT business revenue accounts for more than 70%.
On the wall of honor, the titles of "Specialized, Special and New Little Giant" and "China Chip's Excellent Market Performance Product" confirm the closed-loop ability from technology to business.
