IIT Kanpur and Silizium Circuits, (a semiconductor IP company), jointly bag Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India’s Rs. 5 Crore Grant-in-Aid project for Chips to Startup (C2S) program.

The Radio Frequency (RF) Transceiver System on Chip (SoC) with integrated RISC V core for Sub-GHz Applications will drive innovations in the IoT and indoor applications and its revenues are forecast to be around $ 1.3 trillion in 2030.

IIT Kanpur is the nodal agency responsible for the overall implementation of the project and Silizium Circuits with their RFIC and IC design expertise will contribute to the productization and commercialization of the chip.

Prof. Abhay Karandikar, Director IIT Kanpur said, “The development has tremendous market size and will put India in a stronger position with respect to a complex SoC research and development.”
