Project Summary
Project 1: I2C BUS MASTER IMPLEMENTATION
Organization: CDAC, Mumbai.
EDA Tools: ModelSim, Xilinx.
Languages: Verilog, SystemVerilog.
Project Duration: 6 months
Members Involved: 4
Description: I2C is a two-wire, bi-directional serial bus that provides a
simple and efficient method of data exchange between devices. It is most
suitable for applications requiring occasional communication over a short
distance between many devices. The I2C standard is a true multi-master bus
including collision detection and arbitration that prevents data
Corruption if two or more masters attempt to control the bus
simultaneously.
The interface defines 3 transmission speeds:
- Normal: 100Kbps
- Fast: 400Kbps
- High speed: 3.5Mbps
Only 100Kbps and 400Kbps modes are supported directly. For High speed
special IOs
are needed. If these IOs are available and used, then High speed is also
supported
Role:
1. Study of user manual and functional features of the I2C protocol.
Involved in understanding and discussion on the functional spec of
I2C protocol.
2. Architected the class based verification environment using System
Verilog.
3. Generated functional and code coverage for the RTL verification.
Project 2: DESIGNING AND CONTROLLING ELEVATOR USING A STEPPER MOTOR
Organization: CDAC, Mumbai.
EDA Tools: Xilinx.
Languages: Verilog.
Project Duration: 1 month
Members Involved: 2
Role:
1. Assertion plan was created for the design.
2. Properties were written for the plan and formal verification was
done using Xilinx.
Project 3: Validation of Assertion and Coverage related switch feature in
System Verilog LRM3.0v.
Organization: Synopsys India Pvt Ltd, Hyderabad
EDA Tools: VCS.
Languages: Verilog, System Verilog.
Description: Validation of assert hier, cm assert, cm cond, cm_hier and
cm_assert_hier switch feature in System Verilog LRM3.0v.
Project Duration: 6 months
Members Involved: 2
Roles:
1. Carried out unit testing for above switches and validated in
existing testcases.
2. Involved in coding using Verilog, System Verilog, SVA and UVM.
Project 4: Validation of Pre-compile IP flow & Partition Compile auto-
partition of modules and packages
Organization: Synopsys India Pvt Ltd, Hyderabad
EDA Tools: VCS
Languages: Verilog, System Verilog and UVM.
Description: Ability to pre-compile self contained portions of design
and/or verification units into Pre-Compiled IP libraries i.e. Compiling
only that part of IP in SOC, that was modified and thereby reducing the
recompile time of the entire design. Ability to create partitioning based
on file size & threshold limit for modules and packages, carried out unit
testing and validated in existing test cases.
Project Duration: 6 months
Members Involved: 1
Roles:
1. Carried out unit testing for above switches and validated in existing
testcases.
2. Involved in coding using Verilog, System Verilog, SVA and UVM.
Academic Project during M.Tech
Title: Implementation of Linear and Four Morphological operators for Image
Filtering on FPGA
Work: Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology has become a viable
target for the implementation of real time algorithms suited to video image
processing applications. The
Unique architecture of the FPGA has allowed the technology to be used in
many applications encompassing all aspects of video image processing. Among
those algorithms, linear filtering
based on a 2D convolution, and non-linear 2D morphological filters,
represent a basic set of image operations for a number of applications. In
this work, an implementation of linear and
Morphological image filtering using a FPGA NexysII, Xilinx, Spartan 3E,
with educational purposes, is presented. The system is connected to a USB
port of a personal computer, which in that way form a powerful and low-cost
design station. The FPGA-based system is accessed through a Matlab
graphical user interface, which handles the communication setup. A
comparison between results obtained from MATLAB simulations and the
described FPGA-based implementation is presented.
Project Duration: 6 months
Members Involved: 1
Tools: Matlab, Xilinx, FPGA SPARTAN 3.E.DKT
