'Chip'ping in to the wonder that's Silicon

In flight, while watching a movie on your mobile phone, you wonder how the video clarity is so high even though the battery consumption is so little. You plug in your headphones and get immersed in the surround sound of an action packed thriller. Before you know it, your 3 hour flight is over and you're as best entertained as you could possible be.

We at KPIT Cummins help Semiconductor companies build such innovation into semiconductors that eventually give products such exciting features.

As a domain expert, Semiconductor companies rely on our extensive experience of over 1800 person years to go from Silicon to System. We partner with Semiconductor companies to quickly build chip specifications from features, design and develop the architecture, develop the low level device drivers, test and validate the silicon, and finally prepare the chip for production. Extending post that, our industry class processes are helping Semiconductor companies build a complete support around the same. Our analog skill sets cover the entire spectrum right from design to GDSII (Graphic Data System) and physical validation.

Leveraging our expertise, Semiconductor companies can now sell better. OEMs can not only purchase the chip, but also use the reference designs, demo applications, and the complete board support package, developed by us, that dramatically shortens the time to market for any consumer product. We can read between the lines and have a proven track record of being able to develop systems from single line requirements.

We can not only design and develop the chip, but also provide end to end validation that ensures zero defects and excellent on ground performance. Working with us, our customers leverage the skill sets of a turn key solutions provider that can dramatically reduce the time to market of their product. We are an Eclipse Foundation "Add-in" member, an ISA (Indian Semiconductor Association) founder member and an IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) member.
