Core shortage, price increase! Three major chip manufacturers issued price increase letters on the s

Recently, the three major chip companies issued a price increase letter on the same day: the price increase has increased by as much as 30%! Depu Microelectronics, Shanghai Xinlong Semiconductor, and Fuhong Chuangxin issued product price adjustment notices at the same time, announcing that from May 6th, all products will increase in price, and some products will increase by as much as 30%.

1. Depu Microelectronics issued a price increase letter, and the price increase will start on May 6

Shenzhen Depu Microelectronics Co., Ltd. announced that it will make corresponding price adjustments for lighting series product models from May 6, and undelivered orders will be shipped at the latest prices. According to the official website, Shenzhen Depu Microelectronics Co., Ltd. was established in 2006 and is mainly engaged in integrated circuit design, packaging testing and sales. The enterprise has the ability to realize an annual output value of 500 million yuan and an annual shipment of 3 billion integrated circuits. Products cover AC-DC converters, DC-DC converters, PWM controllers, LED lighting drivers, LED panel drivers, lithium battery protection ICs, MOSFETs, EEPROOMs, voice ICs, logic circuits, operational amplifiers, linear regulators, Microcontroller, etc.

2. Xinlong Semiconductor (XLSEMI) announced a price increase

Today, Shanghai Xinlong Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xinlong Semiconductor") issued a product price adjustment notice stating that due to the continuous increase in the cost of upstream raw materials for products, tight production capacity, and extended production cycles, our company's product costs are high. sharp rise. In order to better serve customers, ensure the continuous supply of products, and relieve the pressure brought about by multiple increases in procurement costs, after careful evaluation and consideration, according to the actual situation of upstream suppliers' price increases, in line with the principle of common development and win-win cooperation, Decided to adjust product prices across the board. The specific execution method is as follows:

1. All orders and new orders that have previously taken effect but have not yet completed delivery will be subject to the adjusted new price;

2. Effective from May 6, 2021.

According to the data, Shanghai Xinlong Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. is a design company specializing in the development of power management analog integrated circuits. Xinlong Semiconductor has many years of technical accumulation and practical experience in the field of high-voltage, high-efficiency, and high-power power management integrated circuits. It is worth mentioning that Xinlong Semiconductor has started the journey of A-share listing.

3. Fuhong Chuangxin comprehensively increases chip prices

A few days ago, Fuhong Chuangxin issued a notice of product price increase, saying that due to well-known reasons, the supply and demand of the global semiconductor industry are out of balance, the production cycle is continuously extended, and the price of raw materials is rising, resulting in a substantial increase in the company's manufacturing costs. In order for the company to operate healthily and continue to provide more stable and reliable chip products to all cooperative customers, the company will increase the prices of all chip device products from May 6th.

Among them, the price of power chip series has increased by 10%~30%. This series of products include DC-DC Buck/Boost, LDO voltage regulator IC, battery management (charging management, battery protection, power detection), LED backlight driver, LED lighting Driver, USB interface protection, Hall switch IC, voltage adjustment (detection, reference source, reset), motor driver IC, audio power amplifier.

Signal chain chips include OPA operational amplifiers, signal interface types, and analog signal switch ICs. The price of this series will increase by 10%~20%.

Storage device ICs include SPI Flash and EEPROM, and the price of this series has increased by 30%.

In addition, the microcontroller MCU includes ARM Cortex MO/M3/M4, and this series adopts a dynamic quotation mechanism.

Fuhong Chuangxin said that all prices are subject to the official quotation of the company's business department. After the price adjustment, the company will actively follow up the market situation. If there is any change in the price, the company will promptly feed back to all cooperative customers.

Among them, the price of power chip series has increased by 10%~30%. This series of products include DC-DC Buck/Boost, LDO voltage regulator IC, battery management (charging management, battery protection, power detection), LED backlight driver, LED lighting Driver, USB interface protection, Hall switch IC, voltage adjustment (detection, reference source, reset), motor driver IC, audio power amplifier.

The electronic supply chain is a whole, from raw materials, design, manufacturing, packaging, testing to chips, modules, terminal factories and consumers all over the world, all linked together. In the past, any decrease or increase in demand in one link would be due to The "bullwhip effect" affects the entire industry chain.

However, news recently came from Huaqiangbei that a small number of chips have reached a critical point due to rising prices and shortages. It means buying them to make products is a loss, and the more you make them, the more you lose. Some of them have simply been discontinued.

Some distribution agents in Huaqiang North saw this sign and began to rush to ship goods. I don't know if it's a smoke bomb.
