PROJECTS
Design Of Symmetric Operational Tran conductance Amplifier (OTA) (I) [Cadence ICFB, TSMC 0.3um CMOS]
Designed three OTA’s Basic, High Impedance and OTA with common Source Buffer
All the three circuits were optimized for Common Mode Range of .85 to 1.35V with gain greater then 43dB,UGF
–at 35MHZ,PSRR and CMRR 25dB at 10KHZ., and O/P Swing 1V peak to peak load cap 1pF.
Plotted FFT to meet the distortion specs.0 dB and 6DB gain in unity gain configuration and HD3 of 20dB and 40
dB for Basic, High Impedance and OTA with common Source Buffer
Layout using Common Centroid and Multi-Finger techniques matching is improved by using dummy transistors
Rail to Rail Differential Amplifier(I) [Cadence ICFB, TSMC 0.3um CMOS]
Biasing for the circuit is done by using Wide Swing Cascode Curent Source for both Pmos and Nmos Diff. Pair
Met the gain spec of 40dB,UGF 80Mhz ,Power Less than 1mW and load capacitance 1pF.
Common Mode range was maximized from 0.4V to 2.6V
CMOS β-multiplier based constant-gm current reference current mirrors(I) [Cadence ICFB, TSMC 0.3um CMOS]
Designed three CMOS β-multiplier, Simple ,Cascoded and with Feedback
Optimized the circuit to achieve constant reference currents for wide range of VDD from 2V to 3V.
Rectified the reference current and voltage generated for constant transconductance over temperature
variations from -20C to -85C.
Mismatching between two references currents was less than 5%
Two Stage Differential Amplifier with active Load (I) [Cadence ICFB, TSMC 0.3um CMOS]
Circuit was optimized with the supply of 5uA ,Differential voltage Gain 50dB and O/P swing 1V peak to peak
Performed the simulations for PSRR 45 dB ,CMRR 44.5dB , Common mode gain of -6.4 kdB, Rin=0.2749 GΩ,
Rout= 25.18 kΩ.
The differential amplifier was simulated to cancel out Common mode (noise) pertaining to its high CMRR.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/resumeanalog-120408030933-phpapp01/85/Resume-analog-1-320.jpg)
![ Shunt-Shunt Feedback Circuit(I ) [Cadence ICFB, TSMC 0.3um CMOS]
The design was implemented at transistor level with achieving following specifications
Rinf<150kΩ,Rof<6KΩ,I<1.5mA.
The amplifier with feedback was verified to have a reduced gain of 129.3dB( gain without feedback obtained
was 161.2dB) and an extended bandwidth of 6.35MHZ(3dB Bandwidth without feedback was 34.67 KHz)
Line follower (G) Embedded Project [Cvr Avr ,Microcontroller Atmega(32)]
A bot which can trace the black line on white surface using microcontroller Atmega(32) and IR Leds.
Responsible for designing circuit, gathering component and soldering on general PCB board.
Project was ranked top among the 100 Participants in the International Technical Fest Held at Bits Pilani in 2009
Game on Chip (G) Embedded Project [Cvr Avr ,Microcontroller Atmega(32)]
A game similar to mobile applications. Snake tales gets bigger and bigger as it keeps on eating food and gets
overed when snake collapses with itself
