Special Projects I have been active

I have worked on testing of high precision thermal sensors IPs. Primarily my

responsibility was to test manually those IPs ,later I have automated all Lab

equipment with python language and compare the automation result with manual

testing.I have verified the IP transistor level schematic and found the reason for

getting wrong bandgap reference circuit curve. Later I have debug the IP board and

found the reason for leakage current. I have also designed bandgap reference

circuit along with startup circuit. Now I am actively working on ring oscillator

circuit design.

Impact of New Technology over my project

I have worked on SI! "# nm technology which is latest breakthrough in

semiconductor industry. $ith smaller power supply and little headroom, it makes

the I!s more compact and reliable to transfer other nodes of technology. It has

created a nice feather also in my resume.

History of company

Palma !ia Semi %esign was founded in "&'" to develop a library of low(power,

high(performance analog and )* intellectual property +IP for use in mi-ed(signal

S!s. P!S have many notable client , for e-ample /oshiba, L0, Neurocom whom

they are delivering ne-t generation advanced 1nalog /o %igital converter blocks,

PLLs, L%s and many more. /hey have their own product which is reusable high

precision thermal sensors. Primarily it was self funded company, letter it started

revenues from those mentioned company.

Cultural influence

P!S has diverse culture in its team. People from all around the globe are working

in this company. /here are equal proportionate of Indian and !hinese people.

anagement team consists of 1merican and e-ican. /hey have headquartered in

!alifornia and design house in c2inney, /e-as. In office we used to celebrate

different culture events like 3alloween party, thanksgiving ceremony and

!hristmas dinner. anagement has very strong influence to keep the culture of the

organi4ation in its modest level.

Employers-Employee relation

1s I am working in research and %evelopment team, it has high e-perienced '5

people, who maintain very good relation among each other. anagement lead r.

6im flowers used to throw company lunch party in every *riday and discussed any

of short grievances of employee. /echnical lead r. 1lan 3olden is also very

approachable to discuss any of the technical issues. So in nutshell the good relation

among employee and employer makes it fastest growing organi4ation.

employee ./hey are utili4ing their human resources pretty effectively by assigning

work level in e-pertise level. So it8s pretty easy for particular employee to

complete their task.

In!ustry tren!s an! competitors

P!S is an 1nalog IP %evelopment company, so their primarily concerns are selling

advanced IP product which are low power and high performance. Primarily they

are the IP selling company mostly focused on )* transreceivers, pipelined, sigma

delta and S1) 1%!. /hey are now focusing also to bring their own product like

thermal sensors, high accuracy low phase noise PLL, L% into the market.

Synopsys, a-im integrated are their main competitors in analog IP development.

$rgani#ation an! %iscipline

1s a small company with 9"& employee P!S is constantly growing and try to

remain so with company8s own moral and discipline. 3ere every employee en7oy
