Create innovative chip designs in Digital, Analog, Mixed-Signal, FPGA and SoC/IP Core tracks and defend your project before the judging panel!
Supporting local engineers and young chip designers, encouraging the creation of innovative chip designs
Encouraging the creation of innovative chip designs in Digital, Analog and Mixed-Signal, FPGA and SoC/IP Core tracks. The competition is held in two stages: online selection and final presentation.
Participants may be students, young professionals or independent engineers. Each team is assigned 1 mentor. The judging panel consists of representatives from FOTON, ARTEL and other major manufacturing companies.
Digital logic circuits, processor architecture and ASIC design
Analog signal processing, ADC/DAC and mixed-signal circuits
Reprogrammable logic systems on FPGA platforms
System-on-Chip architecture and reusable IP blocks
The competition consists of two main stages
Applications and materials are submitted via an online platform. The judging panel reviews all projects and selects TOP 10 projects based on evaluation criteria.
OnlineThe TOP 10 teams with the highest scores are invited to the final stage. Teams are given time to prepare.
Selection ResultTeams defend their projects through a pitch presentation before the judging panel. A Q&A session is held and winners are determined based on final scores.
