Kyttar
Signal-processing semiconductor
A clockless, massively parallel asynchronous processor for real-time signal processing, targeted at software-defined radio and low-power edge workloads.
- Clockless architecture with no global clock, clock distribution network or clock skew
- Power drawn only by active cells; idle operation around 0.5 mW
- Microsecond in-flight reconfiguration via a register write without halting data processing
- Seven concurrent software-defined radios demonstrated on one array at 4.2-15.2 mW
- Programmed from GNU Radio Companion using Kyttar DSP blocks
- 120-cell prototype taped out on the SkyWater SKY130 process
Built for
Engineers building software-defined radio, low-power wireless and IoT devices, defense and resilient edge computing, and spectrum monitoring or cognitive radio systems
