PROJECTS Design of Standard Cell Library & Characterization Fall 2014

Designed standard cells (INVX02, NOR2X05, NAND3X03) using Synopsys 32nm PDK in Cadence Virtuoso. Hercules DRC and LVS used for physical verification & Synopsys StarRC used for parasitic extraction. Performed Characterization of the cells using Cadence ELC and generated .lef files using Abstract Generator. Circuit simulations carried out using Synopsys HSPICE.

RTL-to-GDSII flow of a 5 port Network-on-Chip Router in 32nm PDK Spring 2015

Designed a NoC Router in Verilog with X-Y Routing logic and buffered input ports (synchronous FIFO). EDA synthesis automation carried out using TCL scripts. Optimized area and EDP and performed timing closure through pre-CTS/ post-CTS/ post-route timing optimization and ECO flows in

Encounter, power and timing analysis in Primetime. Design and Verification of I2C Master and Slave Controller using Verilog Spring 2015

Designed an I2C Master and Slave Controller along with Serial-Parallel/ Parallel-Serial converter modules in Verilog. Developed a test bench for Verification using Bus Functional Model for Core read and write functionality.

Verification of AND gate and D-FF using SystemVerilog Spring 2015

Built an Objected Oriented Verification Environment using SystemVerilog classes which included Driver, Receiver, ScoreBoard & DUT. Used Virtual Interfaces & Clocking blocks to build the verification environment. Verified AND gate & D-FF using OOPs principles.

Design of a 16 X 16 Register File with one read and one write port Spring 2015

Designed a 16 entry, 16 bit wide Register File with 1 read and 1 write port using 32nm PDK in Cadence Virtuoso. Physical Design optimizations included diffusion sharing to reduce layout area and load capacitance.

Design of a simple Microprocessor using Verilog on Basys3 FPGA board Fall 2015

Designed a simple 4 cycle (fetch, decode, execute, store) Microprocessor using Verilog. Used Xilinx Vivado Design Suite to implement the design on a Basys3 FPGA board (Artix-7).

VLSI CAD: Scheduling Algorithms of Data Flow Graphs for High Level Synthesis using Python Fall 2015

Implemented Scheduling Algorithms (MLRC and MRLC) of Data Flow Graphs for HLS in Python using List based scheduling heuristics and the exact solution using Integer Linear Programming.
