From August 19 to 21, 2019, the 3rd China College Integrate Circuit (IC) Competition, hosted by the Talent Center, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, was successfully held in Nanjing Jiangbei New Area Industrial Technology Research & Innovation Park. The teams from Xiamen University (XMU), whose members were mainly from School of Electronic Science and Engineering (National Model Microelectronics College) (ESE), Xiamen University, won 3 first prizes, 2 second prizes and the Award of Great Organization, marking a historic breakthrough for XMU.
Launched in December 2018, this competition lasted 9 months. More than 1,300 teams from over 130 colleges and universities registered for the competition. After strict selection, 630 teams entered the finals of seven divisions, and more than 200 teams made it to the national finals. Finally, 6 teams from ESE advanced to the national finals.
Team Saber has designed and built a multi-modal adaptive AI smart city housekeeper based on the CSKY DTU module. Through the combination of AI and data analysis technology and robotics technology, this project realizes the self-adaptation and self-learning of solutions to different scenarios. With this project, team Saber won the first prize of Pingtou Ge Cup and the Enterprise Special Prize, and displayed roadshows at the award ceremony.
Team Xia Xin used the Cortex-M3 core of eval version provided by ARM DesignStart to establish the SoC minimum system and realize the function of license plate recognition. On the basis of the high speed of pure hardware circuit, this project realizes the simple interface packaging and easy integration, at the same time, the RTL code follows the idea of low power consumption (it takes about 8ms to recognize a 640 * 480 picture). Team Xia Xin won the first prize of the ARM Cup.
Team Tong Zhou Gong Ji Hua Shui completed their design by using different software such as Multisim and Ultiboard. Based on the ZY-3100 semiconductor test training platform and LabVIEW software framework, this project completed the design and test of chips' automated test solution, winning the first prize of the NI Cup. Team Miao Bu Ke Yan and Team Mian Bao Fan Mai Ji won the second prize of the ARM Cup and Innovation Practice Cup respectively.
Integrate circuit is the "heart" of information industry and determines the core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. Being need-oriented, the China College IC Competition aims to improve the quality of talent cultivation in the IC industry, to establish the platform for bringing together firms, universities and research institutes to engage in innovation, to enhance the innovative and practical ability of college students and to promote the healthy and fast development of China's IC industry.
