Another achievement of ISRO developed 32-bit microprocessor in collaboration with SCL
ISRO: 32-bit microprocessor helps in navigation, guidance, and control of launch vehicles and it is very important to be self-reliant in this direction.

Indian Space Agency ISRO's Vikram Sarabhai Space Center in association with Semiconductor Laboratory, Chandigarh, has attained the development of a 32-bit microprocessor. These include Vikram 3201 and Kalpana 3201 and will be used in space applications.
Vikram 3201 is the indigenous 32-bit microprocessor produced in India and will be used in launch vehicles in harsh environments. This processor has been designed in the 180nm (nanometer) CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) semiconductor facility of SCL. This processor is an improved version of the indigenous 16-bit Vikram 1601 microprocessor, which has been used in the launch vehicle avionics system of ISRO since 2009.
The space agency said that Kalpana 3201 is a 32-bit SPARC V8 (Scalable Processor Architecture, version 8) RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) microprocessor. According to ISRO, Vikram 3201 and Vikram 1601 have a custom instruction set architecture. The 32-bit microprocessor helps in the navigation, guidance, and control of launch vehicles and is very important for becoming self-reliant in this direction. It has been successfully tested.
