VLSI EXPERT is an official Innatera partner — the company behind the world's first commercial neuromorphic microcontroller. We supply, support, train and deploy Innatera's Pulsar processor ecosystem across India and South Asia.
Innatera is a Netherlands-based semiconductor company that has built and commercialized the world's first neuromorphic microcontroller — the Pulsar chip. Founded out of TU Delft, Innatera has spent years solving the fundamental challenge of always-on AI inference: how do you run continuous, real-time inference on a battery-powered device without draining it in hours?
The answer is Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) implemented in dedicated neuromorphic silicon. Unlike conventional deep learning accelerators that process dense matrix multiplications, SNNs process sparse, event-driven signals — exactly like biological neural tissue. The result is orders-of-magnitude improvements in energy and latency for the class of problems these chips are designed for: always-on sensor processing, anomaly detection, gesture recognition, audio classification, vital sign monitoring.
Innatera's Pulsar is not a research chip. It is a commercial product, in production, with real customers building real products on it. VLSI EXPERT became an official partner in 2025, covering distribution across India and South Asia, training programs for engineers and students, and institutional adoption through universities and research labs.
VLSI EXPERT delivers Innatera-based training programs for engineers, students and institutions. These are not conceptual courses about neuromorphic computing in theory — they use real Pulsar EVK hardware and the Talamo SDK to build and deploy actual SNN models.
VLSI EXPERT delivered a neuromorphic computing tutorial at IIT Bombay under the SemiX IIT Bombay initiative — bringing Innatera's technology to one of India's most prestigious semiconductor research environments. This engagement was part of the broader Innatera partnership and reflects VLSI EXPERT's role in building neuromorphic computing awareness and capability across India's academic ecosystem.
