About

Building a strong foundation for VLSI design.

As an M.Tech VLSI postgraduate with a strong foundation in digital electronics and CMOS design and hands-on experience in HDL coding with EDA tools, I am looking to begin my career in the VLSI domain and contribute to the development of efficient and reliable integrated circuits.

My academic work includes a RISC-V RV32IM SoC design, a hybrid 10T low-power full adder, and an asynchronous FIFO design with verification. I also qualified GATE 2025 in ECE with AIR 6103.

RISC-V RV32IM SoC Design

Group Project

Developed a 32-bit RISC-V processor using a 2-stage multi-cycle FSM architecture.

VerilogFSM ArchitectureAXI BusGPIO
  • *Implemented datapath and control logic with arithmetic, mul/div, load/store, and branch instructions.
  • *Interfaced the core with memory and GPIO using an AXI bus.

Hybrid 10T Low Power Full Adder - CMOS VLSI Design

Designed a transistor-level 1-bit hybrid full adder using GDI multiplexer logic in 45nm CMOS.

45nm CMOSMentor Graphics SPICEGDI LogicPDP Analysis
  • *Implemented level restoration for full-swing outputs and reduced voltage degradation.
  • *Analyzed delay, power, and PDP across supply voltages and process corners.
  • *Achieved about 65% transistor reduction and about 80% power-delay-product improvement over conventional CMOS adders.

Asynchronous FIFO Design and Verification

Designed an asynchronous FIFO with independent read and write clock domains.

VerilogCDCGray CodeTestbenches
  • *Implemented Gray-coded read/write pointers and double flip-flop synchronizers for safer clock-domain crossing.
  • *Verified full and empty conditions using Verilog testbenches.
