“Design of DDR2 SDRAM Controller” Project for the fulfillment of the Pg diploma

Supervisor: Mr. R Nandakumar (submission 1st aug-2014), Enginner/Scientist ‘C’, NIELIT,

Calicut, Kerala, India

PG Diploma project was focused on the design of DDR2 SDRAM Controller. In the modern

era, electronic field is mainly concerned about two major aspects- speed and the power. Everybody

needs more speed and low power operated systems. Modern microprocessors design also demands

high speed which is met by using a DDR2 SDRAM, therefore every application which includes a

SDRAM needs a controller which is capable of handling the operations of read, write, refresh etc.

With the development of Embedded Systems, more and more application require large and high

speed memory. The FPGA-based solution also faces the same demand. Design and realization of an

external storage with large capacity and high throughput in the FPGA-based embedded system is

becoming a challenge. To satisfy the practical requirement, a DDR 2 Controller design is proposed,

which efficiently and selectively integrates with the Altera DDR2 SDRAM High Performance

Controller (HPC) module. Finally, the optimized DDR2 SDRAM Controller based on Altera HPC is

realized, and the goal that data accesses for DDR2 SDRAM with the ability of increase channel and

relatively huge burst size is achieved. The optimized DDR2 Controller has been implemented and

verified in the Altera DE115 FPGA, and revealed a significant improvement in the performance

compared with the older SDRAM Controllers. The Experimental results show that this optimized

DDR2 SDRAM Controller demonstrates the properties of multichannel and high bandwidth memory

access.

“Design and implementation of PWM IC driver for self balancing robot using LPC1343 cortex

m-3 Arm7 processor” Research project for the fulfillment of the M Sc dissertation

Supervisor: Prof. James Kurian(submission may-2012), Cochin University of science and

technology, Cochin, Kerala, India

The Masters’ thesis dealt with the design and implementation of a two wheeled self-

balancing robot. Both the wheels of the robot are capable of independent rotation in two directions.

Both the wheels are driven by two dc motors. L298 Dual H-bridge motor driver is also used to

control the two dc motors because most of the chips cannot pass enough current or voltage to spin the

motors. Then an ADXL345 accelerometer was used as a feedback sensor and LPC1343 cortex- m3

Arm 7 processor as microcontroller. This accelerometer was used to measure the acceleration with

ground which represents the amount of deviation from the balanced position. Accelerometer was

placed on the surface of the object to give exact reading. This information from the feedback sensor

was given to the Arm processor which will process using PID (Proportional Integral Derivative)

algorithm to generate signals to the dc motor using PWM in order to balance the device. The codes

were written in C software and compiled in the KEIL development tool for LPC1343 Arm processor.

“Wireless Car Security System using Using AT89C51 Microcontroller” Project for the

fulfillment of the BSc dissertation.

Supervisor: Mr. Vijo M. Joy (submission june-2010), Aquinas College, Edakochi, Cochin,

Kerala, India

The Bachelor’s project was focused on the “design and implementation of a Wireless car

security system using AT89C51 Microcontroller”. In this project, when a car door is opened by an

unauthorized person, an alarm is produced. An alarm circuit includes a buzzer and a controlling

relay, a micro-controller for receiving and then evaluating the signal. A long range remote control is

used to remotely control the car security systems. Unlike Infra-Red remote control, this Project

employs FM transmission and Reception, and hence it can be used for comparatively longer range.

The alarm can be switched on/off by keying the number allocated to it. The Receiver is made up of

the famous 8 bit Microcontroller from Atmel. The Microcontroller is used as the Master in the

receiver end which is used to control all the activities. It decodes the signal from the transmitter and

controls the system according to the signal. For transmission we used frequency modulation at the

frequency of 433.92 MHz and the codes were written in C software.
