Our final i2move mini system on chip floorplanned to perfection. Designers include Nishanth and Khalid. - Tapeout Imminent,
Stay tuned for more specifics about our system.
Saying goodbye to regius professor Christofer Toumazou of the centre
for Bio Inspired Technology, Imperial College London. I (Nishanth) have
decided to move on, as phase-1, which lasted over 4 years, nears the end.
Wishing everyone at the Bessemer Building the very best.
A sneak preview of our 40 Volts compliance stimulator, with
the high voltage layout heavily handcrafted, using
the contraint driven layout XL flow. - TSMC PDK.
Stay tuned to hear about our boost converter operating in
DCM mode ..
The complete toplevel schematics of our mini system on chip which was ported
from AMS to TSMC is now complete. The system includes novel reconfigurable front end amplifiers, a stimulator with a compliance voltage of up to 40 Volts and an all important digital intelligence engine.
