Confidential
Digital Audio Processor
Tools: Synopsys Design Vision, Xilinx, ModelSim, Synopsys IC Compiler.
Responsibilities:
- Designed a Low Power ASIC-DSP chip to implement an FIR filter used in hearing aid devices.
- Used C programming and behavioral Verilog to build the RTL of the Two Channel MSDAP. The architecture design of the MSDAP was then done and codes using Verilog.
- Synthesized the design using Design Vision Synopsys tool and generated the netlist.
- The netlist was then used to generate the layout and floor plans(placement and routing) using IC Compiler Synopsys tool.
- The power, static timing, clock tree synthesis and area analysis of the MSDAP was also done to find out if design goals were met.
Digital Integrated Circuit design and testing
Confidential
Responsibilities:
- Asynchronous Circuit Design & Implementation: designed a Pump Controller using asynchronous and synchronous, Mealy and Moore Confidential 's.
- Performed Confidential for combinational, sequential circuits and designed characteristics before and after scan insertion (area report, timing report, delay report) in Confidential .
- Designed Built in Self-test for 8-bit ripple carry adder and an 8-bit comparator by adding 8-bit pseudorandom generator and 4-bit signature compactor (4-bit MISR), using Verilog modeling and observed the fault coverage before and after BIST insertion.
Reverse engineer
Confidential
Responsibilities:
- Reverse engineered a 32bit ARM processor with an Confidential .
- A Verilog code was written to perform the instruction decoding, Confidential for the Controller, and the Confidential for the computation.
