NIT Rourkela Semiconductors Shines at the Semicon India 2025 national event.
NIT Rourkela takes immense pride in contributing to India’s growing semiconductor ecosystem, as its two integrated circuit (IC) designs were featured in the Semicon India 2025 event. NIT Rourkela’s two integrated circuit designs were featured in the commemorative memento of India’s first fully indigenous 32-bit microprocessor, Vikram 32, presented to Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi. These semiconductors were made during the NIT Rourkela’s participation in the Chip-to-Startup (C2S) Programme by MeitY.
The two ICs are”
1. Present Encryption Core IC (C2S0017): A lightweight block cypher targeting resource-constrained environments, which is ideal for IoT, RFID, e-payments, healthcare, and sensor network security. Developed by Dr. Ruby Mishra, Mr. Bharat Patidar, Prof. Manish Okade,, Prof. K. K. Mahapatra and Prof. Ayas Kanta Swain.
2. VGA Amplifier Sensor Circuit IC (C2S0018): Designed for biomedical and IoT applications, this IC integrates a capacitive interface with accelerometer connectivity, OTA (Operational Transconductance Amplifier) components, and energy harvesting mechanisms. Designed by Ms. Ipsita Daah, Ms. Samikshya Das, Mr. Prem Sai, Prof. Sauagat Kumar Kar, and Prof. Sudip Kundu.
