Projects
 Design and Verification of AMBA AXI3 Bus protocols – Systemverilog, Veloche Fall’2017
 Designed and verified AMBA AXI3 protocol with one master and two slaves
 Emulated the design in TBX mode of Veloce to attain hardware acceleration
 Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) Level Simulator – Python Spring’2017
● Designed and implemented Fetch-Decode-Execute framework of PDP11 instructions
● Recorded all memory accesses into a trace file and performed exhaustive testing of all instructions
 Verification of PDP – 8 Architecture – Systemverilog Spring’2017
 Developed test bench using SystemVerilog to check the PDP-8 Architecture
 Implemented code coverage and identified the bugs in the circuit through assertions and checker
 Simulation of 8 way set Associative cache – Verilog Winter’2017
● Designed and simulated a 16MB, 8 way set associative cache applying write allocate policy
● Verified the working of true LRU replacement and MESI protocols through exhaustive test cases
 Digital Standard Cell Characterization in Cadence Virtuoso Winter’2017
● Designed ALU with fan-outs and simulations were performed to find rise & fall time, delay
● Physical verification using LVS, DRC and PEX to get parasitic properties from layout
 ASIC Design and Timing Analysis - Systemverilog – Synopsys DC Fall’2016
● Designed and verified sequence detector, pacemaker, traffic controller and n bit iterative comparator
● Performed critical and false path analysis, generated net-list and analyzed the timing reports for the above
 Infrared Based Non-Invasive Glucometer with Insulin Calculator – Arudino IDE- C++ Summer’2015
 Found the glucose level of a person through non-invasive method of measuring the acetone level in breath
 Stored the data in cloud and the amount of insulin to be taken is calculated and displayed
