Internship

LSI Research & Development Pvt. Ltd., Pune 3rd July 2013 -30th June

2014 (1 year)

1. Test mode verification

Description : Test mode logic is the extra logic added on SoC for

validating and testing embedded IPs at SoC level. Test mode

verification team plays a supporting role in SoC validation, testing

and debugging. Being a part of test mode verification team, my task

was to write and simulate the test cases at various design stages, for

testing IP features at SoC level and for verifying implementation of

test mode logic and to generate test vectors for post silicon

validation of IPs at SoC level. The SoC, on which I worked, was a

flash controller SoC with 8 hard macros which were our targeted CUTs.

Responsibilities :

. To write System Verilog based test cases in order to check targeted

features of

IPs at SoC level along test mode path

. To simulate test cases on RTL and debug the issue

. To simulate and debug netlist without SDF

. To simulate and debug postlayout netlist with timing using SDF

. To generate and validate the test vectors for IP centric post

silicon validation

2. Formal verification

Description : In formal verification, I owned the task of carrying out

logical equivalence check on flash controller SoC which was a live

project of the company. I carried out the equivalence check on block

level, partition level and on whole SoC. I have experience in flat,

hierarchical, low power aware equivalence check and debugging LEC

issues. I wrote automation Scripts for conformal LEC tool.

Responsibilities :

. To carry out Formal verification on flash controller SoC using

cadence conformal LEC tool from RTL to prelayout stages for all the

design phases.

. To carry out Low power aware Formal verification on flash

controller SoC.

. To debug various LEC issues

. To write automation scripts for conformal LEC tool

Academic Courses

which is operated using touch screen and equipped with sensors to

provide safety, comfort and ease to move to the motion impaired

people.

Graduation Mini Project : Gesture Translator Dec 2009 - May 2010

(6 months)

. The objective of this project was to develop, a smart glove that can

recognize basic hand gestures of mute person and convert them into

text.
