PROJECTS
Feb 2011 – March 2011
Upgradation of 3-Axis Turning Machine using Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
Designed a program using ladder logic programming to automate a 3Axis turning machine. Allen-Bradley PLC and RSLogix 500 Software
were used for automation.
Oct 2012 – Nov 2012
An alarm clock that can read buttons and update time display
Designed and verified real time alarm clock that could read buttons and update time display.
Schematic (using sequential and combinational circuit), functional verification, layout, DRC check, LVS and net-list match operations were
performed in CADENCE (0.25um Technology).
Nov 2012 – Dec 2012
JPEG Compression
Xilinx software - ModelSim and VHDL programming were used to perform compression of an image.
Performed functional and timing simulation. The compression ratio of 10:1 was achievable.
April 2013 – May 2013
Special effects on voice signal
Code Composer Studio software and DSK-TMS320C6713 hardware kit were used to get the desired special effects in real time environment
A microphone was used to capture the voice of male or female and the signal was processed to generate the following effects :- Echo,
Metallic Voice, Gender Identity Scrambler.
Test Generation Schemes for Sequential Circuits Oct 2013 - Dec 2013
Compared Random Pattern Test generation with Deterministic Test generation scheme to detect all stuck-at faults for a given Sequential
circuit.
Performed Test Pattern Generation and Fault Simulation for given circuit with and without Scan F/F using Synopsys Tetramax Tool.
Compared parameters such as Fault coverage, Test Generation Time, No. of Patterns, Total no of faults, etc.
