Bonus money if chip errors are designed by Vietnam

The first prize worth VND15 million, the second prize of VND10 million and the third prize of VND5 million will be given to individuals, collectives that discover errors, or have a valid comment on the chip designed by a domestic unit. .

This information was presented at the first Vietnamese microcontroller application competition organized by Integrated Circuit Design Research and Education Center (ICDREC), which belongs to National University of Ho Chi Minh City on 9/9. first.

Specifically, all participants will receive SG-8V1 chip designed by ICDREC to exploit and apply to specific tasks. In addition to receiving chips, the contest organizers will provide related hardware, organize training so that participants do not have to spend any costs other than gray matter.

All Vietnamese citizens, including foreigners
can participate in the competition of SG8V1 chip application

First prize for 30 million VND solution, second prize 20 million VND and third prize 10 million VND.

This is a contest to improve the application, discover the 8-bit SG-8V1 chip designed by ICDREC, before sending to manufacture 150 thousand chips at Taiwan semiconductor manufacturer TSMC. SG-8V1 chip is suitable for applications in controlling refrigerators, air conditioners, fans .

Mr. Ngo Duc Hoang, Director of ICDREC said, the SG-8V1 chip is not inferior to any chip with the same processing speed in the world and more competitive price. It is currently used in cruise management equipment (black box) made by a domestic unit.

Chip SG-8V1 was invested by Department of Science and Technology of Ho Chi Minh City for ICDREC to research and design in the period of 2008-2010.
