In 1996, Taiwan's McKinsey Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was established and subsequently launched McKinsey microcontrollers, with a product line covering dozens of models such as MDT10P53 and MDT2005, quickly becoming a well-known microcontroller brand in the market. McKinsey microcontrollers are renowned in the industry for their low power consumption and anti-interference characteristics, especially their compatibility with a certain brand's PIC series in software and hardware, which has been favored by a large number of users. The products are widely used in many fields such as touch buttons, mobile power banks, LED display control, car anti-theft devices, reverse radar, fire alarms, toys, remote controls, electric bicycles, small appliances, electricity meters, industrial control, etc.
At that time, in the field of embedded development, the McKinsey microcontroller entered various home appliances, industrial control and other fields with its unique performance. Typical cases during this period include:
Haier refrigerator computer control board project. The 238 type refrigerator computer control board produced by a company in Qingdao for a domestic brand uses the MDT2005 microcontroller to replace the 16C54OTP microcontroller of a certain brand. It has been widely used on multiple refrigerator control boards of the same brand and has been running stably for a long time.
Household small car air conditioning power distribution project. Domestic car accessory manufacturers have replaced the original 16C54 microcontroller of a certain brand with the MDT2005 microcontroller, solving the power distribution control needs of small displacement cars with insufficient power after installing air conditioning. After the replacement, there is no need to modify software and hardware, and it is still in mass production and use today.
In addition, McKinsey microcontrollers have replaced corresponding models of PIC chips in various fields such as small appliances, security alarms, and car anti-theft devices. They are compatible with existing PIC programs and do not require hardware modifications, saving 30% -50% of material costs and greatly enhancing the competitiveness of domestic electronic brands.
After 15 years of growth, MDT entered a new stage of development and merged with YSPRING in 2011, embarking on a brand new journey of domestic chips.
After receiving all tangible and intangible assets of McKinsey, YSPRING immediately began a series of work including integrating the team, taking over the supply chain, and expanding the market. At that time, domestic semiconductors were still climbing the hill, and the technical route and market prospects were shrouded in fog. The integration of McKinsey brought the MCU industry chain, including research and development, supply chain, and market, injecting fresh blood into YSPRING Technology and even the entire domestic MCU industry. Huichun Technology relied on McKinsey's 15 year technical foundation to deeply cultivate the microcontroller track, promoting the MDT brand to deeply integrate into the domestic independent supply chain, achieving mutual symbiosis and mutual success. At the same time, it links its own photoelectric sensing product line, integrates MCU and Sensor self-developed exclusive algorithms, and creates a gesture control module, becoming the first chip manufacturer in China to achieve large-scale production of this module. Now, this product line has been iterated to the fifth generation and continues to lead the segmented market.
As time goes by, YSPRING has always cherished the 30-year technological heritage and brand original intention of McKinsey MDT, continuously increasing research and development investment to promote product iteration. In June 2026, the McKinsey family MDT10F1824 microcontroller was newly launched, deeply aligning the classic MDT brand with YSPRING's high-quality price ratio core strategy and continuing to write a chapter in chip inheritance.
In the world of semiconductors governed by Moore's Law, the world is constantly changing, from the east to the west, through the vicissitudes of life! How many well-known chip brands have risen and fallen in the wave of the Jiqin cycle, lost in the tide of time, and how many emerging brands have emerged, working together with heaven and earth to move towards the next era.
A generation will eventually grow old, but there will always be people who are young.
Thirty years have passed, and we miss McCann MDT, the "core" that once worked overtime with you late at night, the key that took you into the embedded world, and the waves that sparked countless inspirations. We are also reminiscing about the young man who once 'walked the world with a sword', with his sincere and passionate heart, and his determination to strive for his dreams!
The late nights of desk debugging, repeatedly verified solutions, and the joy of successful mass production have all been sealed in time with MDT chips, and are still jumping for the world's "chips" to this day.
Thank you, remember me, remember Mackenzie!
Believe me, I am still here, never far away!

For thirty years, with the core as the pulse, one 'wheat' carries on, and the firewood never ceases.
Salute to every McKenzie MDTER! Thank you to every companion who accompanies us!
From MDT to YSPRING, YSPRING invites you to join us in the era of intelligence, where our dreams begin, sharing mountains and seas, and rejuvenating our youth!
