Inside Cyient Semiconductors Bet on RISC-V for Custom Silicon
Cyient Semiconductors plans to build domain-specific silicon for industrial, data center, and automotive applications.

Cyient Semiconductors and MIPS recently entered into a licensing agreement to develop domain-specific ASIC and ASSP solutions using MIPS’ Atlas processor portfolio and Cyient’s analog mixed-signal design expertise for industrial, data center, and automotive use cases.
MIPS, which GlobalFoundries recently acquired, is positioning its RISC-V portfolio to support custom silicon through strategic licensing rather than building its own chips.
EE Times spoke to Suman Narayan, CEO of Cyient Semiconductors, who explained that the rationale behind the partnership centered on developing domain-optimized silicon that tightly integrates compute, analog mixed-signal, and power control into real-time RISC-V-based platforms.
