Best Analog and Mixed Signal ICs Companies in China
The 197 best Analog and Mixed Signal ICs companies in China in 2026, ranked by funding and momentum. Funding, investors, founders, valuation, tech stack and live signals. Top: Tsinghua Unigroup.
China's Analog and Mixed Signal ICs sector is one of the more quietly loaded corners of the country's semiconductor push, and this directory ranks 197 companies operating in that space by disclosed equity funding and recent momentum.
The numbers tell you where the weight sits fast. Tsinghua Unigroup leads at $1.5B in disclosed funding, with Unisoc close behind at $1.4B. Those two alone account for nearly half the sector's $5.9B total across all tracked companies. Below them, Nanjing Core Semiconductor Technology has pulled in $365M, and the drop-off after that is steep. Three unicorns have emerged from the cohort, which isn't nothing given how capital-intensive fab-adjacent development gets. Investors like Xiaomi and Cowin Capital are active here, which signals that the strategic money, not just the financial kind, sees this category as worth owning. I'd watch the mid-tier names closely. So what does a $41M raise from Nano Technology tell you? That the funding curve still has room to steepen, and the competitive field beneath the top two remains genuinely open.
