 PHASE LOCKED LOOP 	0.18 um technology
Cadence (Spectre ) , VerilogA, MATLAB.
Generated 4 equally spaced clocks at 1.6GHz with CMOS full-swing (1.8V), achieved 300ns lock time for 1.6GHz oscillation.
A maximum jitter of ±82ps was obtained, the PLL consumed 4.87mW when locked. A Behavioral model for the PLL using Verilog A, MATLAB was developed. Design of LOW POWER HIGH SPEED 32 BIT ALU 	0.25um technology
Cadence (Spectre, Virtuso)
Requirement : Power consumption to be least with a delay constraint of 10 nS, output transition time lower than 200pS with a load of 30 fF at the -10%Vdd and Slow-Slow Design corner.
Understood various design techniques for Low Power and procedures to choose the right logic style.
Layout  done using Virtuoso & power was 8.65 pJ without layout parasitic and 16 pJ with  parasitics.STURDY MASH 2-1 MODULATOR FOR WLAN SYSTEMS(Oversampling Sigma Delta ADC)0.35 um technology
