IIT Bhubaneswar Develops Low Power Semiconductor Chip; Check Details Here

Indian Institute of Technology, IIT Bhubaneswar has developed low power semiconductor chips for cutting-edge applications of electronic devices. 

In a technological breakthrough, IIT-Bhubaneswar has developed two semiconductor chips for cutting-edge applications.

As a technological breakthrough, IIT Bhubaneswar's researchers headed by Dr. MS Manikandan and Dr. Srinivas Bhopu has designed and developed the ultra-low power complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) data conversion IC, that will target the internet of things (IoT) based sensing, monitoring, and wireless devices. 

According to the official sources, the integrated circuits (ICs) was fabricated at the semi conductor laboratory (SCL), Mohali, and was developed under the Special Manpower Development Program for chips to system design (SMDP - C2SD) of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY).

IIT Bhubaneswar has indigenously developed these integrated semiconductor chips, that will help in the energy-efficient secured biomedical data transmission on the internet of medical things (IoMT), and wearable body area networks (WBANs) to edge or cloud computing devices. 

The creation of innovative low power application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) presumes a lot of significance, at a time when the challenge of extending the battery life still continues. 

The IIT Bhubaneswar researchers have been working on designing the low power integrated circuits for a long time. 

According to the IIT Bhubaneswar statement, the efforts towards constituting the researchers and developing technologies began to yield outstanding results, and the fabrication of the first batch of ICs has been successfully done. 

A digitally intensive sub-sampling short-range low-power RF front-end IC aiming IoT applications was designed and developed by another team headed by Dr. Vijaya Sankara Rao Pasupureddi. 

The designed chip includes several design innovations and is being fabricated at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, which is expected to be received soon.
