Introduction: Driven by AI computing power and the low-altitude economy, the chip supply chain faces structural opportunities
In 2026, the AI server and drone industries are reshaping the global demand landscape for electronic components at an unprecedented pace. On the AI computing power front, the bill of materials (BOM) for a single rack of NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin platform stands at approximately US$7.8 million – nearly double the US$3.99 million of the previous-generation GB300. The value of core components such as PCBs, MLCCs and ABF substrates has surged by 233 per cent, 182 per cent and 82 per cent respectively. In the low-altitude economy sector, the market size for drone main control chips is projected to grow from US$2.38 billion in 2025 to US$2.6 billion in 2026, and is expected to reach US$3.67 billion by 2030.
These two high-growth sectors impose starkly different demands on chip performance, power consumption and supply stability, yet they both point to the same core question: who can provide a one-stop component supply covering the full spectrum of AI servers and drones? Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd., drawing on nearly three decades of industry expertise, a stock of over 2 million part numbers and a partnership network spanning more than 500 renowned global semiconductor manufacturers, is emerging as a strong contender to meet this demand.
I. An Overview of Core Chips for AI Servers: From Computing Chips to Power Supply and Storage
AI servers are not merely an assembly of individual chips, but rather a complex system comprising computing chips, storage chips, power management chips, passive components and high-speed interconnect chips. Morgan Stanley research indicates that the demand for semiconductors driven by AI servers has expanded from single computing chips to encompass a wide range of components, including high-speed transmission interface chips, power management chips and power semiconductors.
Core Computing Chips: GPU accelerators (NVIDIA H-series/B-series), CPU processors (Intel Xeon, AMD EPYC) and CSP-developed ASICs (Google TPU, AWS Trainium) form the three pillars of AI computing power. Total ASIC shipments are projected to reach 3.7 million units by 2026.
Storage chips: High-bandwidth memory (HBM) has become an essential requirement for AI training, whilst DDR5 server memory and high-speed SSDs are equally indispensable. Mingjiada Electronics has long supplied HBM3E, HBM4 and DDR5 server memory products from original manufacturers such as Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron.
Power Supplies and Power Semiconductors: The value of power supplies for 200kW+ racks is approximately US$76,000, whilst demand for MOSFETs, IGBTs and power management ICs is rising in tandem with computing density.
Passive Components and Substrates: The demand for MLCCs and ABF substrates per AI server is growing exponentially; the per-rack consumption of high-end MLCCs has surged from US$1,530 in the GB300 era to US$4,320 in the VR200 era.
II. Drone Control and Sensing Chips: Lightweight, Low Power Consumption, High Real-time Performance
The core requirements for drone chips differ markedly from those of AI servers—weight is measured in grams, power consumption in milliwatts, and response times in microseconds. Drone main control chips encompass four major types: microcontrollers (MCUs), FPGAs, digital signal processors (DSPs) and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). Furthermore, AI and vision SoCs, FPGAs and adaptive SoCs account for over two-thirds of the market value in flight control and perception tasks.
Flight Control Main Chips: Centred on the STM32 series of MCUs and FPGAs, these are responsible for attitude estimation, PID control and real-time task scheduling.
Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) and Sensors: Accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers constitute the drone’s ‘eyes’. Mingjiada Electronics has long supplied high-performance MEMS sensor chips from STMicroelectronics’ LSM/LIS series, as well as accelerometers and IMU products from brands such as Bosch, ADI and TDK.
Vision and AI Processing Chips: AI vision SoC chips from brands such as Ambarella and Rockchip support intelligent tasks including target recognition, obstacle avoidance and autonomous navigation. As a specialist supplier of AI vision SoC chips, Mingjiada Electronics offers a full range of vision processing SoCs from multiple brands, including Ambarella, Rockchip and Yizhi, supporting the entire lifecycle from sample requests to high-volume, long-term supply.
Power and Driver ICs: UAV ESC systems require high-performance gate drivers and power MOSFETs, such as the Fortior FD6288 250V three-phase half-bridge gate driver.
