Education:
Masters of Science, Electrical Engineering. GPA: 3.2/4.00 Graduation – May 2013
Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ
Bachelors of Science, Electrical Engineering GPA: 3.3/4.00 Graduation – May 2010.
Academic Projects :
Working on a spectre model of 12-bit fully differential RSD-based pipelined ADC at
80MegaSamples/second. [Cadence ICFB 0.25um process] – [Spring 2013]
Telescopic Cascode Differential Amplifier: [Fall 2012]
• Designed a telescopic cascade differential amplifier with wide swing cascade as tail device and
constant gm biasing.
• DC-gain = 65dB, UGBW: 50.2 MHz, PM: 68.2 and GM: 24.89dB, Load : 1pf
• Implemented in Cadence ICFB 0.25um process.
CMOS Beta-multiplier based constant gm current reference circuit : [Fall 2012]
• Optimized the circuit to achieve constant reference currents for wide range of VDD.
• Attained a percentage deviation of less 5%. Implemented in [Cadence ICFB 0.25um].
Design and Verification of Asynchronous Fifo: [ASIC Design] – [Xilinx ISE 13.0][May 2012 ]
• Designed a Fifo with faster Write Clock and a slower Read Clock without loss of any data. Used
overflow and underflow conditions to control the data being written on the Fifo.
• Tested circuits utilising random inputs to validate storage of data. Utilised FULL and EMPTY
signals to detect Fifo status. Insured Fifo worked for a particular range of entries.
• Wrote a system verilog code to test the system. Implemented scoreboard, mailboxes and interfaces
to create the testing environment.
Design of Engine Controller Unit for 12- cylinder 6 speed car in tsmc 0.25um process: [Cadence
0.25um] - [Spring 2012]
• Designed digital logic circuits to control the gear and cylinder functions and also to manipulate the
speed based on the motion of a car (Uphill/Downhill/Flat Surface Motion).
• Protocols for automation in car were given specifying RPM, Speed, gear, cylinder information for
each configuration.
