Tongxin Micro has won the "China Chip” Award for Excellent Products for many years in a row, making it one of the typical enterprises providing Chinese chips. The awarded THD89 is a reflection of Tongxin Micro’s leading strengths for security chips. THD89 series support international and Chinese cryptographic algorithms and are compatible with multi-interface standards. In particular, THD89 series ensure security by adopting such protection measures as memory encryption storage, bus encryption disturbance, electrical environment monitoring, and fault prevention injection. Compared with similar competitors, it enables a great leap in security and reliability. More importantly, THD89 has bagged many highest honors: the first Chinese chip certified by SOGIS CC EAL 6+ and the automotive-grade AEC-Q100, one of the best automotive chips currently in China; the world's first Chinese chip adopted by the EMV credit cards. Its technology has been recognized by many domestic and foreign authoritative agencies and industry peers.

Since its launch, the product has established very mature commercial and brand value. It not only provides users with service solutions for a widest range of scenarios, but also takes the lead in promoting the Chinese chips on the world’s stage and makes contributions to China’s undertaking of seeking indigenous innovation and developing the chip technology.

As a leading security chip design enterprise in the industry, Tongxin Micro takes the intelligent security chips as the basis to provide tailored application solutions for various scenarios across a wide array of sectors. In addition, with the support of Unigroup’s industry chain “from chip to cloud”, Tongxin Micro has built a one-stop service platform based on security chips through partnering with a lot of top-class brands. In this way, the company lays a solid foundation for such emerging industries as industrial Internet, 5G, automotive electronics and IoT, hence making contributions to the long-term and stable development of Chinese economy.

"This honor represents another recognition of industry professionals for not only the historical breakthroughs achieved by homegrown security chips but also Tongxin Micro’s technical innovation capabilities." Yue Chao, President of Tongxin Micro, said: “we’ve been committed to ‘security chips’ since 2001. After nearly two decades of efforts and generations of hard work, we’ve gradually narrowed the technology gap of Chinese security chips with international peers and realized the leap from catching up to surpassing. Nowadays, a series of excellent Chinese chips represented by Tongxin Micro’s products have been able to compete with those from global giants. The smart manufacturing of Chinese chips is expected to play an increasingly important role in the global system driven by advanced technology."
