INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE :

-Custom Circuit Design Engineer ar MediaTek, USA. 05/2014 to current.

-Design and verification of custom mixed signal blocks for leakage current sensor of ARM CPU.

-Design of current mirror, IDAC, Level shifters, Dynamic comparators, static comparators, Clock generator in 20SOC and 16Finfet process.

-Design and verification of 6-T SRAM based cache memory in 16FFP.

-Design and verification of 8-bit SAR ADC.

-SRAM circuit designer at Oracle Inc. 06/2011 to 05/2014.

•Working on multi cycle Register file (8 Read, 4 write) design with TSMC 20nm Process to obtain High Target Frequency. Involved in custom design of decoder, D-Flop for time borrowing, custom gates for wordline, keeper and pre-charge drivers, sizing devices, custom Mux for area reduction and speed up option. Designed the array with 1R1W 8T cell which is used as 8 Read, 4 write register file externally.

•Working with layout engineers for floor planning, routing and overall layout of macro to achieve smaller area and higher speed of that macro. I guided the use of metal layer, metal track allocation and use of continuous diffusion for the custom driver devices to obtain higher speed.

• Worked with RTL team and Integration team to solve macro to macro architectural path timing issue.

• Working on power optimization of the register file. Used clock gating and data gating scheme for that. Changed decoding scheme and tried to share flops to reduce more power.

•Also, worked with RTL designer and neighbor block's owner to reduce more power.

• Used to read RTL in each release and generate LEF file and SynT Files for current macro and delivered to Integration team.

• Worked on margin analysis and fixing the issue of the macro.

•Worked on Prime time based tool to verify the timing of the block.

•Working on IR drop analysis and fixing the issue.

•Also, worked on 6T cell based macro for feasibility analysis. Tried different combination of flops, decoding strategy and architecture of SRAM(number of entry on a bitline, pulldown device, glitch latch etc.).

•Worked on the differential sensing scheme with sense-amp and single ended sensing scheme on 6T array.

•Worked with DFT team and defined the DFT scheme for the macro and designed DFT compatible input flops.

-MARVELL SEMICONDUCTOR INC. 02/1/2011-05/2011.

Worked in Global PNR group and did Static timing analysis,Place and routing. Lef and SynT File generation, use Prime time for timing analysis.

-Silicon Audio, Austin, TX -06/1/2010-08/25/2011
