PROJECTS

• Advanced Digital VLSI Design:

Designed a 16 bit Carry Look Ahead Adder with a load of 50 Ohm and 100fF at the output terminal, using TSMC 0.5um technology using Cadence Analog Design Environment, Cadence Spectre, Cadence Virtuoso Layout.

• CMOS Mixed Signal IC Design:

Designed a CMOS Phase Locked Loop(PLL) for a tuning range 1.9 – 2.4 GHz and input frequency 2.4GHz for a load of 50 Ohm and 100fF at the output terminal in TSMC 0.25um technology using cadence tools: Cadence Analog Design Environment, Cadence Spectre, Cadence Virtuoso Layout.

.

• Radio Frequency Circuit Design:

Designed a stable RF Power Amplifier using large signal spice model. Performed Harmonic balance analysis using a large signal input power source. The amplitude and the domain response for the first five harmonics in the output signal was determined and plotted at various input levels.

• Digital VLSI Design:

1. Designed a 16-bit DRAM (Memory circuits with high power) Circuit using Cadence tool, includes Schematic, Layout and Simulation (Design Rule Checking and Layout Versus Schematic) using Cadence 0.25 micron technology in analog virtuoso environment.

2. Design of combinational CMOS Logic Element (4:1 Multiplexer) in CADENCE using AMIS 0.5um technology with following specifications: output swing of 5v, speed 200Mbps, at least 70% eye opening for a load of 50 ohm resistor and 100fF capacitor.

• Advanced Electronics:

Simulated a Wien Bridge Oscillator using PSPICE and its performance characteristics are studied.

• Digital Signal Processing: (September’08-November’08)

Implemented MATLAB programs for various types of Digital Signal Processing techniques like convolution, autocorrelation, cross correlation and various types of digital filters (Butterworth, Chebyshev).

• Embedded Microcontrollers:

Designed and implemented two controller boards that communicate with each other and control external devices that are connected using timing intensive asynchronous communications interface. The controller used is PIC18F4620, which accepts commands from a PC via-RS-232 interface and transmit a serial stream on a 4-wire full duplex RS-485 communications bus.

• Wireless Communications:

1. A Wireless channel estimation using pilot tones using MATLAB.

2. Simulation of MIMO system using MATLAB.

• Electronic Energy meter Implementing load shedding and interfaced to distribution control centre:

Designed a system load linked prepaid energy meter which links the tariff levied to the consumers based on the system load for the consumer to plan his consumption accordingly. The project is based upon embedding the principle of Load Shedding in an energy meter on a domestic scale, in accordance with system information provided from the DCC. The meter is controlled and operated by 8051 microcontroller and the interfacing is done through RS232.

• Operational Amplifiers: Designs and Applications:

Simulated, analyzed and built a BJT voltage feedback operational amplifier.
