Leading a dynamic team dedicated to delivering a range of power management solutions, including Buck Boost converters, LED drivers, and LDOs, to a diverse clientele. In this role, my primary responsibilities encompass a comprehensive understanding of our customers' requirements, and ensure the delivery of high-quality, optimized models.

Specialization in creation and validation of models for a variety of Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) architectures. My work encompasses SPICE modeling for a range of SMPS designs, ensuring that they meet stringent performance criteria across various operating conditions, including corner cases. Additionally, I am proficient in linear modeling of SMPS architectures using SIMPLIS, verifying their behavior under different operating parameters, such as input voltage (Vin), output voltage (Vout)… Show more Specialization in creation and validation of models for a variety of Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) architectures.

Modeling and validation of diverse Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) architectures using SPICE and SIMPLIS simulation tools. My responsibilities encompass creating accurate models for SMPS designs, conducting rigorous corner validation, and ensuring that our simulations align with customer needs and replicate actual board results.

Worked on at 16 bit SAR ADC working at 4MSPS throughput. Translating/ Porting same to Simetrix simulator.

Trained in Digital and Analog layout design. Hands- on experience of Design schematic capture, layout and simulation tools for layout design and layout verification in Cadence Virtuoso layout suite at 180nm Technology

In-depth understanding of voltage mode control and current mode control architecture. Worked on power modeling of a current mode buck converter. Validated the same across Vin, Vout & Iout corners across different frequencies.
