About this award
The Research Development and Engineering Command awarded a $3.19 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract to Sri International for research and development of adaptive and active auto-zeroing circuits for scalable analog neural networks (A3C) on June 2, 2025, with final completion September 1, 2026.
The originating solicitation was a DARPA pre-solicitation issued May 22, 2024, seeking innovative proposals for scalable, robust, and power-efficient analog neural network architectures and circuits that directly interface with analog sensor outputs. The program targeted over 200x power efficiency gains in Phase 1 and over 2000x power efficiency gains in Phase 2, with accuracy targets and hardware fabrication and testing requirements. DARPA anticipated multiple awards under the solicitation with no set-aside designation and no budget cap, using 6.2 Applied Research funding.
Place of performance is Menlo Park, California. Sri International is a non-profit research and development organization. Subcontractors include the University of Arkansas (adaptive and active auto-zeroing circuit design), Aisensation LLC (hyperdimensional computing architectures for neural network operation), and Green Mountain Semiconductor Inc. (22nm analog neural network chip design and tape-out files).
