Evaluated and aided in resolution failures

Identified, investigated and debugged problems during testing

ACADEMIC PROJECTS:

Hardware Development:

Developed single board PC using the 80C186EB microprocessor. Wrote Assembly language for firmware development. Implemented interface for analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a temperature sensor (LM35DZ) to the single board computer. Used EEPROMS to store and access data. Displayed stored data on LCD (Lumex LCM S01602) and used Keypad (16 keys) as user interface

Integrated Circuit Design:

Designed logic gates using NMOS and PMOS Transistors in Cadence simulation environment

Designed 3- bit Binary to Thermometer Code Converter using Inverter, NAND and NOR Logic Gates

Designed CMOS transistor-level blocks of 4 bit ALU, 3 to 7 bit Flash ADC, and 7 to 3 bit Current Steering DAC. The design effort included system level design flow, schematic capture, simulation and IC layout (DRC and LVS) using Cadence Virtuoso

Tool Development of Simulation and Analysis for High Speed PCB circuits:

Developed a MATLAB GUI package to simulate and analyze EM wave propagation in high speed PCB. Developed code based on finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Code included single/double-trace simulation, S parameter calculation, impedance calculation and E-field distribution display along with wave propagation on GUI.
