GitHubDesign and FPGA Implementation of FIR Filter using MAC (Multiplier-Accumulator) on FPGA
Nov 2023The project covers the entire workflow of designing a FIR filter using MAC Multiplier and accumulator unit and followed by its implementtaion on to the FPGA Board, It includes the various submodules such as Multiplier, adder, RAM, ROM, register, and a Finite state machine to handle the signals like reset, load, write etc, This was successfully implememnted onto the F[GA.
Tools Used: Xilinx Vivado
GitHubCMOS Inverter Design and GDSII Generation using Cadence Virtuoso (GPDK90)
Nov 2023The project covers the entire workflow from schematic design to GDSII generation, including pre-layout and post-layout simulations, delay calculations, RC parasitics extraction, and validation through DRC and LVS checks. The goal was to successfully implement the CMOS inverter design and perform a detailed comparison between pre-layout and post-layout simulation results.
Tools Used: Cadence Virtuoso
