Projects Worked:

Cross-Feature Testing: This project aims at validating ProtoCompiler (HAPS100) parallel flow by combining two or more features making one of them constant. Tests were created by enabling different features and flows and results were validated and bugs were filed for the issues found. This testing ensures the tool works seamlessly in combination of different flows. Enhanced tool reliability for customers, reducing debugging time and improving overall user experience.


BUFG Inference: This project aims at validating insertion of BUFG (Global Buffers) by ProtoCompiler tool on high fanout control and non control nets. This testing was targeted for HAPS100 ( ProtoCompiler100) technology. Tests were created for both Partition and Synthesis flow for single and multi-FPGAs and validated on both EDIF and Verilog outputs. Enabled efficient clock and reset distribution in customer designs, improving timing, and ensuring reliable system initialization.


Benchmark Designs setup: Worked on setting up 6+ designs from customers on Multi-FPGA prototyping flow targeting HAPS70, HAPS80 and HAPS100 technologies. Monitor the daily runs and reported the issues. Wrote TCL scripts to automate the runs, capturing data and reporting

issues. Improved customer satisfaction through reliable prototyping flows.

Other Projects

Light Sensor using Linear integrated Circuits and LDR : A Light Detector or a Light Sensor is a device or circuit that detects the  intensity of the light incident on it. Different types of light detectors  are LDRs (or Light Dependent Resistors), Photo Diodes, Photo  Transistors, etc.  When the light falls on the LDR, the light stays off and when the light  stops falling on LDR, the LED glows. The circuit is designed using an  OP – AMP (Operational Amplifier-IC741)


AHB2APB bridge RTL design using Verilog HDL  

HDL: Verilog  EDA Tool: ISE-Xilinx  

The AHB to APB bridge is designed as an AHB slave which converts  AHB transactions to APB transactions by implementing pipelining at  the AHB slave interface. Thus, the bridge supports AHB burst transfers.  Architected the block level structure for the bridge.  Developed Verilog RTL for each block.  Verified each block with different transfers like single READ, WRITE &  Burst READ, WRITE.  Synthesized the design.


URBAN STREET VILLE BASED ON IoT:  A Framework, predominantly composed of Information and  Communication Technologies (ICT), to develop, deploy, and promote  sustainable development practices to address growing urbanization  challenges.  Used Arduino Mega (ATmega2560) Microcontroller Board, Sensors,  LEDS, Node Microcontroller Unit.  Software : Embedded C and Arduino IDE (in terms of Simulation).



Internships

SYNOPSYS, Bengaluru  

Worked as a contractor at Synopsys, Bengaluru through Ascent Staffing  Solutions. Exposed to FPGA EDA tools like Synplify Premier and HAPS  ProtoCompiler. Worked on setting up more than 40 Opencore Designs for  Prototyping flow validation. Also worked on Tri-states inference testing in  the Prototyping flow.  


MAVEN SILICON, Bengaluru  

VLSI Design Internship. Acquired knowledge of Verilog HDL and tools like  Xilinx ISE and Quartus Prime. Worked on a project named AHB2APB  bridge design.
