• Involved in designing next generation capabilities of power estimation/rail analysis tool to accommodate the ever-increasing complexities of chip design • Worked on developing new IR Aware Placement Flow to reduce IR Drop using Innovus • Worked with R&Ds and drove product development by exploring the possible algorithms and methodologies • Defined new technical specs and validated the new features

• Understood problem statements from transistor level and came up with innovative solutions • Simulated macros using Spectre models in Virtuoso and compared results with Voltus • Experience in running IR (static), IVD, Power EM, Signal EM and analyzed results

• Responsible for running EM and IR Drop analysis using Voltus on Cirrus Logic’s next generation audio products • Used Voltus and Prime Power for average, vectorbased, vectorless and inrush power analysis • Closely worked with P&R engineers and provided feedback to improve power grid/reduce IR drop • Designed decap cells which improved cap density by 150% & reduced leakage/fF by 28% compared to foundry decap cells • Designed Level Shifters, delay cells and I2C deglitch blocks and ran EM, IR drop, AMS, SOA checks, transient analysis on extracted netlist using Cadence Virtuoso

• Involved in re-package and distribution of 3rd party IP as well as development, characterization, view-generation, maintenance, qualification and distribution of in-house IP including standard cells and memories • Responsible for IO development (custom macro transistor level design) like custom GPIO, power, ground pads, I2C, SoundWire PHY interface • Worked with cross functional teams to gather/define/implement specs • Transistor level implementation of the block using CMOS/Domino/Cell-Based styles • Responsible for running layout extracted simulation (PEX) and provided additional views like Verilog, abstract, LEF, timing models like CCS, ECSM, NLDM, AOCV, OCV (for STA) etc. • Closely worked with Product Test Engineers and Validation Engineers to characterize/review Silicon data • Used wide range of analog and digital design tools as well as script development for automation purpose • Used Perforce as a revision control tool to manage data
