Engineer

As an Engineer, I’m responsible for designing, developing and testing digital circuits for PAL’s, CPLD’s and FPGA devices. Designed and tested the digital portion of the cards in Avionics and Defense related applications.

Responsibilities:

Responsible for complete cycle from specification through Design development and Testing.

Was responsible to handle Technical discussions at client places in Malaysia, Hyderabad and Bangalore.

Designed and tested 16550D compliant UART: Used this UART core to generate multiple channels in applications like Airbone Encoder and Decoder Unit, Telemetry Unit and 1553b to rs422 converter unit.

Designed and tested an Interface Controller Unit to match the compatibility between SIGMA 95NAA Fictional unit and Airborne Satcom Antenna Assembly (SAAA).

Designed and tested Timing Generator block used in HUD Refresh controller. It is an integral part of Message Symbol Generator Card (MSG Card)

Designed and tested the PAL standard Video Generator. It is an integral part of Color Symbol Generator Card (CSG Card)

MSG card and CSG cards are used in Display Processor (DP) of Su-30, Jaguar Mission Computer (JMC) and Core Avionics Computer (CAC) of Mig-27.

Designed and tested Flash card controller to provide an interface between PCMCIA connector and Flash memory chips.

Designed and tested Multi Channel RS422 to RS232 Switch Circuit using PAL device.

Graphene Semiconductor Services Pvt. Ltd., B’lore

2013 - 2014

Project Trainee

As a Trainee, was responsible to work with a team of 11 verification engineers to verify LPDDR2 Memory controller.

Responsibilities:

Responsible for Assertion based verification (ABV) of LPDDR2 Memory interface which was in turn used in LPDDR2 memory controller. System Verilog Assertion language was used to verify the design using Questa Sim simulator.

Designed a verification strategy to test LPDDR2 Memory interface using Assertion based verification methodology. Also derived unique benefits of ABV.

Designed and tested an Arbiter control logic which was used to arbitrate between 32 masters based on an algorithm.
