Pursuing online course at Udemy–SOC Verification using System Verilog ACADEMIC PROJECTS
ASIC Design of Low Power Mini Stereo Digital Audio Processor (Verilog, ModelSim, IC Complier, Design Compiler)
Designed an ASIC chip to implement Digital FIR filter capable of performing audio processing functions
RTL codes written in Verilog and final gate-level netlist was obtained using Design Compiler
Automatic placement and routing is done using IC compiler. Two designs with different placements were designed and better design (w.r.t power & area) is chosen
Power and timing analysis was done using Design Compiler Design and Layout of 8T SRAM Memory Array (Manual Placing and Routing, Static Timing Analysis, DRC, LVS)
Designed a 256-word Memory array of 8T static memory cells
The decoders, pre-charger, write driver, clock buffer and sense amplifier were sized and designed taking into consideration the load capacitances and logical efforts of the paths
The final placement and layout was done manually in Cadence with minimum total area
HSPICE/SPECTRE was used to check the functionality along with measuring the worst case read and write times of the memory
Design and Implementation of a 64 bit Arithmetic Unit (Verilog, LINUX, CAD Tools, Cadence Encounter)
Designed and implemented an Arithmetic Unit performing 64 bit arithmetic operations using Xilinx ISE and Verilog HDL; DRC, LVS, & QRC was done using Cadence Virtuoso and Composite Schematic
Cadence Encounter was used for floor planning, placing and routing of the implementation
STA is performed using Synopsys PrimeTime. Power & area report is generated using Design Vision Fault Detection, Simulation and Sampling of implemented Combinational Circuits (TetraMax, ATPG)
Implemented combinational circuits at gate level using Verilog & Xilinx ISE and race conditions were avoided
Detected stuck-at-faults (Collapsed and Un-collapsed) and were eliminated, test vectors and the fault coverage was found using Tetramax tool
Demonstrated fault simulation using Parallel, Deductive, Concurrent fault simulation and Critical path tracing methods
Test pattern is generated for Built-In self-test(BIST), Boundary Scan and different scans are dealt Design and Implementation of High Performance Arithmetic and Logic Unit (MTCMOS, Cadence Virtuoso)
Cadence based design of ALU to compute 8-bit Arithmetic & Logical operations using a 4X1 MUX and a full adder
This project was implemented for minimal power & board area without compromising speed
MTCMOS technology was used for optimizing power & is calculated using Virtuoso - Analog Design Environment Cache Optimization (Gem5, Python)
Cache hierarchy was fine-tuned on X86 architecture based on the gem5 simulator
The cache design parameters which were modified for optimization are Cache levels, cache size, replacement policy, associativity and block size hence changing the Cycles per Instruction
These configurations were experimented on 5 different benchmarks namely 401.bzip2, 429.mcf, 456.hmmer, 458.sjeng and 470.lbm. The tradeoff considered was cost vs CPI ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS
• Honored with a merit Certificate for National Level paper presentation for “Heliodisplay”.
• Awarded for Detect n Design event at IEEE Tech Fest 2013 held in Hyderabad, in which flaws in various circuits had to be detected and rectified to achieve proper functionality
• Awarded first prize in Robotics events held in CVR College of Engineering as a part of CIENCIA 2K14
