Projects:
SPI Controller Core - RTL Design
HVL: Verilog.
EDA Tools: Xilinx, Questa -- Verification Platform.
Description : The SPI Controller Core is an interface between wishbone compatible Master Device and SPI interface Slave device. It supports variable length of transfer word and the core can be configured for 1 to 32 bit, 64 & 128 bit. It supports data latching and data transfer at both edges of clock.This core can be configured to connect with 32 slaves. The SPI Clock frequency can be adjusted by configuring desirable value in 32 bit clock divider register.The SPI Core RTL is technology independent and fully synthesizable.
Architected the class based verification environment using system Verilog.
Verified the RTL module using System Verilog.
Generated functional and code coverage for the RTL verification sign-off.
Real Time Clock – RTL design and verification
HDL: Verilog.
HVL: SystemVerilog..
EDA Tools: Modelsim, Questa – Verification Platform and ISE
Implemented the Real Time Clock using Verilog HDL independently.
Architected the class based verification environment using SystemVerilog.
Verified the RTL model using SystemVerilog.
Generated functional and code coverage for the RTL verification sign-off.
Synthesized the design .
Dual Port RAM – verification
HVL: System Verilog
EDA Tools: Modelsim, Questa – Verification Platform and ISE
Implemented the Dual Port Ram using Verilog HDL independently.
Architected the class based verification environment using system Verilog.
Verified the RTL module using System Verilog.
Generated functional and code coverage for the RTL verification sign-off.
Architectures to Reduce Latency and Complexity for Viterbi Decoders
PLATFORM : Architecture in Communication System.
TECHNOLOGY : 180nm.
LANGUAGE USED : Verilog.
TOOLS : Modelsim 5.7, Xilinx 9.2.
ROLE : Low Power and Reduce Latency and complexity.
DESCRIPTION : Viterbi Decoder is commonly used in decoding convolution codes for wireless communication.In Viterbi Decoder look-ahead techniques for achieving high throughput. Look ahead level increases- complexity and latency decreases. There are 3 major building blocks.BMU (branch metric Unit),ACS (add-compare-select Unit),Survival Memory Unit(SMU).Multiple steps of trellis to single step (complex) using Branch Metric Precomputation (BMP).The Branch Metric Precomputation dominate complexity and latency of the architecture. Reduce complexity, latency and increases the frequency speed of the decoder.
Extra Curricular Activities:
• Undergone In plant Training in “BSNL”- Thanjavur & “All India Radio”- Trichy during my undergraduate.
