Gain an understanding of the fundamentals of Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI), including how the theories and concepts can be applied in the design of simple logic circuits and in the physical implementation of a simplified microprocessor

A seamless python to Cadence Virtuoso Skill interface

This project discusses the design of an 8-bit asynchronous successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) implemented in 45nm CMOS technology.

Implementation of a simple SIMD processor in Verilog, core of which is a 16-bit SIMD ALU. 2's compliment calculations are implemented in this ALU. The ALU operation will take two clocks. The first clock cycle will be used to load values into the registers. The second will be for performing the operations. 6-bit opcodes are used to select the functions. The instruction code, including the opcode, will be 18-bit.

Inter Process Communication (IPC) between Python and Cadence Virtuoso

The project is about building an 8-row by 8-bit 6T SRAM memory array, & a 3-to-8 decoder that's used to access the SRAM array. The layout design is done using Cadence Virtuoso’s ADE, & the Static Noise Margin is obtained through Matlab scripts.

This project shows the design of a frequency synthesizer PLL system that produces a 1.92 GHz signal with a reference input of 30 MHz, with a comparison between using an LC VCO and using a Ring VCO.

This repository includes the Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM) Compiler which is designed in the context of the research project of Dimitris Antoniadis (PG Taught Student) at Imperial College London

The codes are used to generate the VerilogA code which can be directly used in the spectre simulation .The generated VerilogA code's fuction is to generate the specific waveforms according to your setting.And the setting is done in the python code (main.py), which will facilitate greatly the coding works.

Cadence Virtuoso Design Management System

This project shows how to model a 10-bit pipeline ADC and a 10-bit DAC using ideal components. Used vdc, vpulse, vcvs, switch, res, cap, vccs to construct the 10-bit ADC based on 1-bit per stage pipelined architecture. Models are built in Cadence using ideal components & VerilogA blocks, & Analysis is done on Matlab.

This project shows the design process of the main blocks of a typical RX frontend system.
