Key Development Details

MosChip Technologies Limited announced successful initial silicon bring-up results for its VIDYUT100 Smart Energy Meter IC. The chip was successfully taped out during Q1 FY2027 and has been received from the fabrication facility. Initial silicon bring-up activities have been completed successfully, with key device functions demonstrating expected operation during preliminary laboratory evaluation.

The engineering team has completed the first phase of evaluation, providing encouraging results that validate the design methodology and integration approach. Comprehensive validation and performance characterization activities are continuing across analog, digital, metrology, communication, and system-level functions. These activities are expected to continue over the coming weeks to ensure the device meets stringent reliability, accuracy, and performance requirements.

Government Support and Program Context

The VIDYUT100 development is supported by Government of India's (MeitY) Design Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme. The program aligns with India's broader objective of strengthening domestic semiconductor innovation and manufacturing capabilities and addresses India's growing demand for intelligent, secure, and energy-efficient metering solutions.

Product Description

VIDYUT100 is MosChip's fully integrated Smart Energy Meter IC program, developed as part of the company's focus on building indigenous semiconductor solutions for the energy sector.
