Global surge in AI power shipments leads to MCU chip shortage

With the increasing global demand for AI power supply, domestic MCU chip manufacturers are facing a rare situation of "shortage and price increase". Due to the fact that AI power supplies are a large-scale purchasing object for GPUs, the demand for core control chip MCUs has also significantly increased. Domestic manufacturers such as Zhongwei Semiconductor and Nationz Technologies have started to raise chip prices and achieve bulk supply to top global power management companies. The explosion of demand for AI servers and optical modules further drives the demand in the MCU market. (Jiemian News)
