• Designed highspeed data path and control units and assisted in shaping the micro-architecture of chip.

• Block or Chip Level Floor planning, Bus / Pin Planning, Clock Tree Synthesis, Placement, Optimization, Routing, Parasitic Extraction, Static Timing Analysis, IR drop analysis, Physical Verification and Sign Off.

• Developed RTL module in System Verilog which involved creating DRAM Memory controller and high-speed communication via SerDes to transfer data from FPGA to another, FIFO and DDR memory interface, Synthesis and place and route. Academic Projects:

Design and Verification (Languages: UVM, SystemVerilog, Verilog, SVA, C++) Design Verification of UART.

• Developed a UVM based testbench using System Verilog to verify the RTL of UART IP Core.

• Evaluated different modes Full-Duplex, Half-Duplex and Loopback mode successfully with functional coverage of 100%. Design of 5 Stage Linear Pipelined Processor

• Designed a 5-stage pipelined processor using Verilog supporting MIPS instruction set architecture. With an Instruction memory (256x16 bit), Data memory (8x16 bit) and Register file (8x16 bit) and 16-bit ALU.

• Control hazards, Structural hazards and Data dependencies solved using Hazard Detection Unit and Forwarding Unit FIFO Design for Clock Domain Crossing and verification using SVA

• Designed 0, 1, 2 and 8 register FIFO interfaces to exchange data between producer and consumer in different clock domains. Implemented with and without prefetched and overlapped production and overlap. Design and Verification of an AHB-Lite Protocol

• Led a team of 3 to design a synthesizable SV ABH-LITE dual-port RAM module with basic requirements of AHB peripheral.

• Developed verification environment and random based simulation derived the verification components. Verification of data and control path of Pipelined LC- 3 Microcontroller
