Vikram-32 chip: What are the features of India’s first desi microchip built by ISRO?

Vikran Chip developed by Isro
The Vikram-32 chip was developed by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) semiconductor Laboratory (SCL). The first built in India is completely domestic microprocessor and is designed for space launching tools where extreme environmental conditions require high reliability.
The first party of Vikram 3201 devices was confirmed in space during the PSLV-C60 mission and confirmed that they were ready for future tasks.
Introduced in March this year, the processor reflects the progress under the Indian semiconductor mission launched in 2021. In just three and a half years, India became a producer from the consumer of the developed chips. Vikram’s manufacturing and packaging, SCL’s Mohali took place at the 180nm CMOS facility in Punjab.
Vikram-32: Technical Specifications and Applications
The Vikram-32 processor is designed to address complex tasks, including a 32-bit architecture, including decimal calculations. According to Isro, he can manage large memory and carry out sophisticated instructions required for satellite launch and spacecraft.
Designed to withstand hard space conditions, the chip has the potential beyond space applications. The robust design makes it suitable for use in defense, aviation, automotive and energy sectors. Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, who is located on the first settled chip to the Prime Minister, underlined India’s progress in the semiconductor sector. “The construction of five new semiconductor units continues and 10 major projects have been approved with RS 1.60 Lakh Crore investment in six states,” he said. He added that more than 23 design attempts received support under the design -linked incentive scheme, which positions India as a “stability and growth sign içinde within the global semisuk value chain.
Providing Vikram-32 to PM Modi is seen as a technological and symbolic step and points to the global level of India’s entry into domestic chip construction.
The three-day Semicon Indian Conference focuses on creating a solid, flexible and sustainable semiconductor ecosystem with the Vikram-32 chip at its center as a demonstration of India’s growing capabilities.
