Kanpur: The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur has jointly bagged a grant-in-aid project of Rs 5 crore for the Chips to Startups (C2S) program of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) along with Silicium Circuits Pvt Ltd. Its ground-breaking project, “Radio-frequency (RF) transceiver SoC (system on a chip) with integrated RISC V core for sub-GHz applications”.
Prof. Abhay Karandikar, Director, IIT-Kanpur, said, “IIT Kanpur has always been promoting innovation, fostering entrepreneurship, and promoting technology commercialization and the Chips to Startups (C2S) project is a part of this ongoing campaign. is part of. The project, which aims to build SoCs supporting all major standards at sub GHz, will drive innovation in IoT and indoor applications. The development has a tremendous market size and will put India in a strong position with respect to complex SOC research and development.
The duration of the project is three years. IIT Kanpur, as the nodal agency, will be responsible for the development of the critical mixed-signal IP and design of the RF front end and system-on-chip (SoC) along with the silicon circuit commercialization.
“Semi-conductor IP (intellectual property) will be the brain of all hardware devices,” said Rijin John, co-founder and CEO of Silysium Circuits. An SoC supporting all major standards at sub GHz will drive innovations in IoT and indoor applications, Whose revenue is estimated to be around $1.3 trillion by 2030. In addition to the final SoC, IP such as ADCs (analog to digital converters), PLLs (Phase Locked Loops) and RF front ends will also be developed which will represent a $488 billion global market. All low-power applications around the world in the future will need an ultra-low power receiver because it needs to be alert to incoming signals at all times.”
Professor Eamon Mondal, Professor Chitra and Professor R.S. Ashwin Kumar from IIT Kanpur and Dr. Arun Ashoka and Rijin John of Silysium Circuits is the project’s inventor. The project is supported by end-user ATWIC R&D, an innovative organization focused on developing electronics systems and subsystems.
