Cyient Semiconductors Private Limited, a rapidly growing custom silicon firm headquartered in Hyderabad, and MIPS, a global leader in RISC-V processor IP, have announced a strategic partnership to develop domain-specific ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) and ASSP (application-specific standard product) solutions. These will leverage MIPS’ Atlas range of high-performance, power-efficient processor IP. The collaboration aims to address real-time, safety-critical workloads, power management, and computational efficiency across demanding platforms in automotive, industrial, and data centre environments. Key areas of focus include Motor Control and Power Delivery in Data Centres, combining Cyient’s Analogue Mixed Signal expertise with MIPS’ Atlas CPU IP.

“As computing extends from cloud to edge, intelligent power delivery has become vital to unlocking performance and efficiency,” said Suman Narayan, Chief Executive Officer of Cyient Semiconductors. “Our collaboration with MIPS merges embedded intelligence with advanced power design on scalable silicon platforms built on open standards. Together, we are creating the next generation of semiconductors for a smarter, more energy-efficient world.”

“The challenges of power efficiency and motor control are best addressed through real-time compute architectures, where our MIPS M8500 microcontrollers excel,” said Sameer Wasson, Chief Executive Officer of MIPS. “With our industry-leading control-loop capabilities, Cyient can apply their deep expertise in power delivery to create innovative ASIC and ASSP solutions tailored to evolving customer demands.”

Rising demand for software-defined vehicles, industrial automation, and data centre advancements is fuelling the growth of custom silicon. The partnership enables clients to create advanced, differentiated, and easily programmable platforms using MIPS' RISC-V-based IP combined with Cyient’s expertise in intelligent power and mixed-signal design.

Targeted use-cases include motor drive control, intelligent energy management, power delivery control, and safety-critical applications. These will be available as custom ASIC or standard ASSP platforms, helping OEMs and system integrators reduce time-to-market, eliminate proprietary dependencies, and optimise platform costs.

MIPS is a global leader in compute subsystems for autonomous platforms across industrial, embedded, and automotive markets. With a 40-year legacy in RISC architecture innovation and safety-capable processing, MIPS is enabling the next era of Physical AI adoption in robotics and mobility. Its pioneering, patented technology is rooted in the open RISC-V instruction set, giving customers the freedom to move beyond closed legacy architectures. For more details, visit MIPS.com.
