Selected Academic Projects

  • Low Power Cache Design using Sleep Transistors                                         [Cadence ICFB, 0.13μmCMOS]

Designed and implemented an energy efficient Cache memory using low leakage SRAM cells. Power gating technique was implemented with sleep transistors using multi threshold library. The number of sleep transistors per cell was varied for analysis of the amount of leakage power in each case, using SPICE simulations.

  • Vending Machine microcontroller design                        [Cadence ICFB, Synopsys DC, 0.5μmCMOS]

The design was implemented by using a finite state machine to acquire data from ROM and give the output to the dispensing mechanism as well as a VGA display based on a keypad input

  • Third Order Elliptic Filter Based on Biquad Architecture Using Switched Capacitors [Cadence ICFB, 0.5μmCMOS]

The filter was designed to attain 3db cut-off at 50 KHz and a sampling frequency of 250 KHz.  The design consisted of Op-Amp’s with a unity gain frequency of 16MHz used in conjunction with switched capacitor circuits to filter the input accurately.

The design was taped out; Chip was fabricated in a 0.5μm CMOS through MOSIS and successfully tested.

  • Design of Standard Cell Library in 0.5μmCMOS Technology [Cadence ICFB, Synopsys DC, 0.5μmCMOS]

The Standard Cell Library consisting of basic gates with different inputs and drive strengths was designed in Cadence ICFB. This involved creating layout, cmos_sch and symbol, behavioral, extracted, analog extracted and abstract views, along with .lib, .lef, and .v information. This library is used to synthesize the MIPS controller state machine. The structural Verilog file is used for place and route using SOC Encounter. Clock tree synthesis is done and LVS is performed between extracted and schematic views.
