Yang Liu's Projects
Network-on-Chip 2D mesh router
February 2012 to June 2012
Team Members: Yang Liu
Designed the router for CMP SOC using RTL Verilog and compiled adequate testbench.
Completed physical implementation Synthesis, Formal Logical Equivalency, Static Timing
Analysis, P&R.
Digital Image Uniform Noise Attenuation
May 2012 to June 2012
Team Members: Yang Liu
Awarded the designer contest winner, Clock Period * Area is almost half of the 2nd
group.
Creatively designed a pipelined methodology to read 4 data from and write 1 data to SRAM,
achieved noise attenuation of 1 pixel only in one clock circle, (1/6 of the original
specification).
Initiated to Combine CS(save)A, CS(select)A, CLA, Manchester Carry Chain to achieved 1.0
ns delay of 4 12bits data adding with load.
Full custom layout design of 1k SRAM, other data pathes and control logic.
Two-Direction Digital Timer Design
November 2011 to January 2012
Team Members: Yang Liu
Awarded the designer contest winner among 73 groups based on Clock Period * Area .
Design is adopted and introduced in course EE577a.
Creatively designed a counter instead of adder/subtractor to minimize the delay on the
critical path.
Redesigned the FSM (reduced two register) to save the logic and the layout s area.
IEEE single-precision floating-point unit
November 2011 to January 2012
Team Members: Yang Liu
Designed a mechanism to accomplish floating-point calculation based on Verilog HDL.
5-Stage-Pipeline Mips CPU Design
September 2011 to December 2011
Team Members: Yang Liu
Designed a 5-stage simple pipelined processor to support in order execution of simple
instructions taking care of RAW and Branch hazards.
Effective Trojan Insertion Method
October 2011 to June 2012
Team Members: Yang Liu
Invented a logic effort based method to minimize the delay and area change as a Trojan
designer.
Proposed a new challenge to the Trojan detector as the delay has been optimally minimized
with Prof. Gupta.
Performance Study of OFDM on Multimode Fiber
August 2008 to June 2011
Team Members: Yang Liu
Excellent graduation Thesis of Beijing University of Posts & Telecommunications.
Conducted optical modulate and demodulate simulation on Optisystem, using component as
MQAM, OFDM, (D)FFT, M-Z inter-ferometer, etc.
Developed a method to judge the O-OFDM MIMO system performance (coordinate graph, eye
pattern).
LR-WPANs Zigbee IC Design
May 2012 to Present
Team Members: Yang Liu
HDL implemented the DSP part of PHY_TX (Spreading, Pulse shaping, multistage
interpolation).
Assisted the verification of the PHY_TX and the whole chip using UVM.
CRC and AES encipher verification on CM0 CPU.
