OBJECTIVE: Opportunity to apply my attention, creativity, practical skill, towards the design, layout, and simulations in the areas of analog and digital circuit include VLSI
EDUCATION:
Linux Operating May 2012
Master’s Program, Electrical Engineering December 2011 Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Electrical Engineering May 2008 Dean’s List Spring 2007 TECHNICAL SKILLS:
Tools: Cadence ICFB (schematic capture, Simulations using Spectres, layouts transistor level, DRC, Extraction, and LVS)
Operating Systems: Unix/Linux kernel
ANALOG LAYOUT TECHNIQUES:
Current Mirror: Designed for better matching and less parasitic capacitance and resistance using common centroid, dummy poly strip, fingering
Differential pair: Using common centroid to minimize the first-order effects of mismatch
CLASS PROJECTS:
Analog Circuit Design
CMOS β-Multiplier Based Constant-GM Current Reference: Designed a reference current independent of the power supply and ground changes. Telescopic Cascode Differential Stage Design: Designed a differential amplifier to improve gain. Single-Ended Folded Cascode Amplifier: Created a symmetrical schematic and layout using a common centroid for the differential pair in the amplifier. 50 Ω Driver Amplifier: Designed a folded cascode differential amplifier with two floating current sources and the bias class AB output stage.
Two-Stage Op with above 50 dB Gain and 8Ohm Resistor: Created a reliable two-stage circuit with a differential amplifier and an active load circuit.
VLSI Circuit Design
One-Bit Full Adder (include input & output latches): Designed a low operating, considering speed, average energy, lowest energy-delay product (EDP), and minimum Area for layout.
32-Bit Adder: With a partner created a Sklansky adder, considering speed, power dissipation.
32-Bit Register File with Decoder: Cooperated on a team of three to create a 32-bit register file with decoder, three read ports, one write port, and input and output latches/flip-flops. GRADUATE COURSE LIST:
