Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras Develops ‘MOUSHIK’ Microprocessor for IoT Devices
IIT Madras Researchers have booted up ‘MOUSHIK,’ an indigenously-made Microprocessor, that can cater to the rapidly-growing IoT devices, an integral part of Smart Cities of a Digital India. MOUSHIK is an Indigenous RISC-V Microprocessor and is the third chip of the SHAKTI family, all of which were conceptualized and developed by this Centre and were first time ‘silicon successes.’ The Field Applications of ‘MOUSHIK’ include:
-
Smart cards including Credit cards, ID Cards, Debit cards, Travel Cards for Metros and Driving Licenses
-
Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs)
-
Office Management Systems including Attendance, surveillance cameras and safe locks
