Professional:------------------- Owner for Power/EMIR signoff at SoC level. Work with Floorplan, PnR owners to get the power grid to meet signoff threshold. Have successfully taped out multiple, complex SoCs.- Collaborate with block/IP owners for EMIR signoff, power gird improvement at IP-level. - Experience with power, IR, EM, ramp-up, clock-jitter, ESD analysis with planar CMOS and FDSOI designs. Have worked on blocks with ~2GHz speed and also on low-power SoCs with several power domains. - Pre-layout constraint development and Logic Synthesis for SubSystem, chip-level to help achieve PPA targets.- Owner for DFT timing constraints and STA signoff for DFT modes.- Drive early power optimization/power saving based on RTL-level power analysis using SpyGlass. Work with architects, and logic designers to understand power requirements and find opportunities to reduce power.- Report power for blocks/SubSystems and top-level using RTL-level and gate-level design and corresponding signoff tools. This is for datasheet purpose as well as for regulator sizing. Have done gate-level power reporting using RedHawk and PTPX.- Provide power projection for the future projects based on analysis, find out scaling factors between RTL, gate and Silicon. - RedHawk physical and electrical modeling of Power Switches, LDOs, other IPs- CMM generation using aplmmx/Totem, Power Noise (simultaneous switching noise) analysis using Totem.- Co-design experience. IO/Bump placement, RDL routing.- IOSTA for a few interfaces (25MHz - 133MHz).- Worked on different aspects of Physical Design(Floor Plan, Power Plan, PnR, PV) for 2 successful ASICs in 55nm technology (netlist to GDSII).- Worked on Library development for Standard Cell/IO Cells and IBIS Modeling.- Experience with spice-level simulations. - Comfortable with scripting using tcl, perl, shell.Academic:---------------- MS-Thesis : Developed one of the most compact (layout area) GPIOs in 28nm technology and developed an EDA tool ("IO Planner") which help the user to plan the IO ring suitably by suggesting optimum placement for ESD clamps in the IO ring. Advisor: Dr. Alan W Davis.Goals:---------- Explore different aspects of physical design.
