Semiconductors
Responsibilities
Micro-architect and own toplevel RTL for Mixed-signal chip with analog circuits, micro-controller and other logic functions
Architect, and implement digital PID / cascade control loops (voltage-mode, current-mode, or hybrid) for high-frequency multi-phase IVRs
Develop micro-architecture and implement RTL for control of mixed-signal circuits
Translate validated MATLAB/Simulink controller models into production-quality RTL (Verilog / SystemVerilog) using HDL Coder or manual high-quality coding
Design and implement supporting digital blocks: ADC interface, DPWM (digital PWM)
Collaborate closely with analog designers on loop compensation, sensor design, quantization effects, and delay budgeting
Analyze and optimize for area, power, timing, and metastability in the digital controller across PVT corners
Support silicon bring-up, debug, and controller on lab hardware
