Scientists at the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras have indigenously developed a semiconductor chip for space applications.
The ‘IRIS’ (Indigenous RISCV Controller for Space Applications) chip was developed from the ‘SHAKTI’ processor baseline. It can also be used in diverse domains, from IoT to computing systems, for strategic needs.
The development of the chip was part of the effort to indigenise semiconductors used by ISRO for its applications, command and control Systems, and other critical functions aligning with its march towards ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ in space technologies.
“This marks truly a milestone in “Make in India” efforts in semiconductor design and fabrication,” said Dr. V Narayanan, Chairman of ISRO.
“I am sure that this high-performance controller, realised as per our requirements, will contribute significantly to future embedded controllers for space mission-related applications. It is planned to flight test a product based on this controller shortly, and performance will be confirmed,” he added. IANS
