pSemi Corporation July 2019 - September 2019

San Diego

Product Engineering Intern

• Assisted test engineers in curve tracing and fault analysis of Neon wafers.

• Handled re-probe requests for wafer lots using data from Exensio.

• Developed a tool using VBA to find the offsets required to set the limits for wafer tests with different Flanders Testers.

• Automated the process of extracting the IP lists required for the comparison of wafer test results tested with different testers.

• Effectively developed a script using Python and VBA to automate the creation of a product compliance matrix from the given product requirements document (PRD).

• Developed a Shell script to automate the process of extraction of the product hierarchy summary. National Metrology Centre (NMC), A*STAR May 2017 - Aug 2017 Singapore

Research Intern - Under Dr. Shan S Yueyan

• Designed a synchronous up/down counter (IC 4029) which feeds a 7 segment decode/driver (IC 4511) driving a LED display. An analog display was further designed to display the last digit of the counter.

• Built a 1:10000 divider using four Johnson counters with input buffering performed by schmitt-triggered inverters.

• Simulated and fabricated the counter-divider design using ExpressPCB. Indian Institute of Technology, Madras May 2015 - Aug 2015 Tamil Nadu, India

Research Intern - Under Dr. Radha Krishna Ganti

• Devised a linearization technique to show that the self-interference channel in an indoor environment can be effectively modelled as H(f)=C0+C1f in the frequency domain, irrespective of the multipath environment.

• Designed a self-interference cancellation architecture comprising of a Digital to Analog converter, power amplifier, Vector modulator and Low noise amplifier using KiCAD software. PROJECTS

University of California, San Diego – Under Dr. Patrick Mercier:

• Worked on a project aimed at designing a Right Leg Driven ECG Amplifier with optimum noise cancellation.

• The circuit was successfully designed and simulated using Cadence Virtuoso. University of California, San Diego – Under Dr. Drew Hall:

• Designed a two-stage differential amplifier with current mirror biasing circuitry to meet the given design specifications.

• The circuit was designed and simulated using Cadence Virtuoso. The specifications were successfully met by sizing the transistors appropriately.

University of California, San Diego - Under Dr. Baskar Rao:

• Reconstructed an audio signal back from a noise filled channel using Signal Processing Techniques in MATLAB. National Institute of Technology -Under Dr. N. Ammmasai Gounden:

• Worked on a project to monitor an arduino based motion detecting streetlight that aims at saving energy by aaadetecting the vehicle movement and simultaneously switching off the trailing light using Pulse Width modulation

• The circuit was simulated using PSpice and fabricated successfully.
