PROJECTS
’MIPS processor implemented on FPGA’ (Nov. 2016-Dec. 2016)
32-bit MIPS processor was written in VHDL and run it on FPGA
Implemented complete RC5 encryption & decryption using the MIPS instructions on the processor designed using VHDL
’Design of Multilevel Cache memory simulator ’ Nov. 2016
Designed a multilevel cache memory system simulator in C++ using round robin replacement policy on cache accesses
’32-bit MIPS Simulator using C++’ Oct. 2016
Designed an instruction-level simulator for a single cycle MIPS processor in C++ which model the execution of instructions.
‘Design & Enhancement of On-Chip Optical Interconnect Performance’- Term Paper (Feb. 2016-May. 2016)
Modelled the VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) based optical modulator using MATLAB Simulink
Performance comparison of electrical and optical interconnects indicated that latter is better for data transmission in high speed integrated circuits.
‘Two Stage OTA on 180nm technology’ (Apr.2016-May.2016)
Phase Margin- 72.8 Degrees, Closed Loop Gain~2, Open Loop Gain-59.1dB, Slew Rate-34.13 V/uS, GBW(0dB)-43.26 MHz, GBW(-3dB)-30.6 MHz were achieved
‘Accelerometer Based Gaming Console’ (Feb.2016-May. 2016)
Developed a standalone gaming device for a multiplayer Artillery Game. Users provide inputs to their players from the on board accelerometer of STM32F4Discovery micro-controller and the game is played on an LCD interfaced with the board.
‘Memory System Design 256-bit (6T-SRAM) & Layout using 45nm technology’ (Sep. 2015-Dec. 2015)
Lead a team of 4 and achieved weekly goals.
Read & Write margins were 30% and 50%, 6-T SRAM cell layout area < 1μm2, clocking frequency of 1.5 GHz and power supply as low as 780mV were achieved
‘Coaxial Rotor Aerial Vehicle (CRAV)’ (Jan. 2013-May. 2013)
A coaxial rotor remote controlled copter capable of carrying a payload up to 400 grams along with a camera was designed using ATMEL 328 PA IC using MATLAB & C coding
