End Of ADLD!..
Our last session came to an end with a good revision on all topics that we learnt so far!We ended up the sessions by submitting our all assignments.The course was very useful to us,and hope it continues in the advanced digital systems .The final exam is to be held on 27th of December;hope i put my best in it :) ..another joyful year is coming to an end!Joy to the world,the lord has come :) :)!!....merry Christmas to all...

Arbitration!
Today was our last session of IESA :(. Feeling sad,as we cover up the portions of this ADLD course.It was indeed a great fun ,filled with interest in learning this course.I really learnt new stuffs in the VLSI domain.Gonna miss these classes where programming was made very easy to us by our wonderful lecturer,Mr.Vamsi Chakradhar.Really gonna miss his classes from now on.Today we learnt about Arbitration and its types and we soon came up with codings for it.Later on,a recording was played on Guidelines that has to be followed to be good at coding.Tomorrow is our last day where we have decided to revise on the topics covered in this course,followed by the final Exam on 27th of December :( 

Magnitude Comparator!
Today's session started with a quick view on one bit Magnitude comparators!.We later on learnt the parity checker and parity generator and wrote coding on them at that instance.We started designing the SRAMs on the afternoon sessions which was made easy by the given lectures.Though it seemed difficult at the beginning it sooner became easy to design with few hints given to us by Vamsi sir.Our class dismissed today as we covered the SRAM topic.Hoping to learn something new again tomorrow too :)  

FSM and Memories
Today we listened and analyzed few points on both  Volatile and Non-Volatile memories.The recorded lecture was given by Mr.Srikanth Jadcherla sir,who pointed out the main architectures and operations in a simple manner.We earlier studied FSM and designed in Mealy and Moore types of FSM.Today's session was quite interesting and we had an overview of all the topics covered so far.We are yet to cover four topics that we will cover within Christmas.It was another good day that must be stored in our memories as we learnt the architecture of Memories !! :)

Sync Counters!
Today we learnt about Synchronous counters which a tricky part in the counter topic :) ..We later on  had a practical sessions on Mod Counters,Sync and Async counters;we solved many problems on Up and Down counters.Finally the session ended with a recap of FAQs.We also learnt about Ring and Johnson counters.Tomorrow we will be learning about FSM and its functions.So eagerly waiting to know about them :) 

Counters!
Today we learnt about Counters in detail and designed the counters accordingly.We also had a short recap on Shift registers and completed the designs on Shift registers.Tomorrow we'll be learning about Synchronous Counters in a detailed manner,as today's session dealt with the Asynchronous Counters.They seem to be difficult to analyze still the concepts of the Counters has to be known well!

Shift Registers!
 We begin our class with a recap on previous session about Flip Flops,where we learned about the differences between blocking and non-blocking;initial and always;continuous and procedural assignments.We then started the session with shift registers.It was an easy to study concept as we discussed these registers in a jiff, earlier.Later on,in the afternoon, we continued the session with practical assignments.In between we had a quick go through with the units that we have learnt so far!.It was an interesting session today.Tomorrow we are about to enter into the Counter Topics.Hoping for a good day tomorrow 

Flip Flops and Latches:
 Today we did a detailed study about the Flip flop and latches and its internal architecture.We learnt more about the excitation tables,characteristic equation and many.Later on in the afternoon session we had our practical classes where we were given assignments:an interesting set of questions where we gotta design according to the synchronous and asynchronous categories.Today was really an energetic class and we are yet to cover Shift registers in the upcoming classes !

Recap Session!
Today we had a recap session on Verilog and its basics.It was a good comeback filled with energy to learn once again the Very Large Scale Integration concepts.Later on,we had a practical session on the recap topics.Tomorrow we are moving on with the new concepts and are eager to learn them too! 

BACK WITH A BANG!!
  The ADLD courses resume tomorrow after a long gap in-between,where we had kept ourselves busy with semester examinations.So eagerly waiting for the courses to begin:A big booster on the way,to our brains.Looking forward to the classes where it goes on until Christmas.

AMD !
 Today we have an interesting session with Mr.Vivek,the Director of Engineering and Technology at AMD.The session dealt with the SoC concept from the past till future.He gave a good lecture on the History of System on Chips and moved on till the future technology.We soon came up with questions based on SoC that was quite fun where he calmly gave the solutions for the questions that were put up.The session ended with a clear view of SoC's in our minds.Looking forward to the next interactive session!

Mock interview!!
Today we really enjoyed our session where a Mock Interview was conducted! it was really a new experience about this interview.We did learn few tips that we should remember, while attending any interview.The main thing that we learnt today was that not to give up on anything;especially "confidence".Never give up easily on anything and have Confidence in oneself.These were the key points that were noted on today's session!.

Lecture !
 Today a recorded lecture by Mr.Srikanth Jadcherla was played that dealt with the concepts of verilog .The session went on well and he gave away some examples to be worked out in our lab sessions.We finally created a group containing three members where we'll start with the project presentation soon after the Dussera holidays.Finally we are left with few more recordings to be played,followed by an interactive session with the AMD head.

Hands on Training sessions

  Today we practiced our assignment questions in verilog which made the course much more interesting.Later on, we assembled for the recording of Mr.Srikanth Jadcherla,where he recollected the concepts of verilog which gave even more basic concepts of verilog coding.! we ended up the session bit early,and still few more coding are to be completed to finish up the assignment and submit it within the dead line!

Intel..
Today we had a video conference with the INTEL manager,Mrs.Anuradha Srinivasan .!! it was an interactive session,where all our questions were answered by her.We made this session useful and all our doubts were cleared.Looking forward to another sessions with the managers of different companies.

Revision!
 We had a thorough revision on the units covered this week.! today was an interesting practical session where I deliberately coded for few circuits and wrote test benches! it was really fun looking up to the generated waves for the given codes.! We are yet to cover few more topics and assignments are given to us to be worked out.Have to keenly focus on it !! 

Verilog Modelling!!!
     Today our session dealt with the modellings in verilog HDL,a theory class on verilog HDL.We learnt about the "gate level""structural level" and :behavior" modelling techniques today.We further coded verilog using case and if else conditions.We keenly worked on the testbenches for the theory taught today !.had a very interesting class ! looking forward to tomorrow's class where we are on the journey of learning the flip flops,latches and counters :) 

Test bench
 Today we learned how to work on test bench,a bit tricky yet an interesting way to write codes :).We initially installed the iverilog software in our computers and started working on it.It was fun with the programming part.The units are partly covered and yet to finish up the portions!

Verilog !
 Today,our session started with unit-2,a study on verilog language.We took up a coding as an example and covered almost all the structures required to write down a code;we came across the assignment statements-procedural and continuous, and also synchronous and Asynchronous Flip Flops.
   We later on worked on the test bench briefly and had hands-on training sessions.We also learnt about the 'wire' and 'reg' data types and their functions.In our next class we are going to work more on test benches to get a clear idea about the HDL language;looking forward to it. 

Unit 2!
Today we discussed about the basic gates followed by the Universal gates:NAND and NOR gates. We also learnt the concepts of Universal gates and Implementation of functions using Universal gates.We keenly learnt about the implementation of  any function given using minimal number of NAND/NOR gates.Looking forward to the next session

Conference

      Today we had a Voice Conference with Mr.Jadcherla, where he have us the new concept of the internel and external Flip flops for Setup and Hold time.!! Here,we come to an end with the first unit where we'll have the tests on this unit on Saturday..

Recap..
 Today we had a recap of the Timing analysis followed by further study about the Timing Concept.Tomorrow,we'll have a video conference with the CEO,Mr.Srikanth Jadcherla,who'll explain the overview of the timing concept,once again followed by the questionnaire as per the schedule! Looking forward to the conference tomorrow,where we come to an end with the first unit.

Timing!
 Today,our IESA session dealt with the Basics concepts of timing.We started our morning sessions with a  presentation from Mr.Nagaraj Subramanyam ,Director ,ekLakshya ,VLSI  R&D company.He gave a full presentation on this course in a glad manner,where the session was very interactive!Later on,we had our Practical sessions where,we worked on MicroWind tool and practiced schematic and layouts according to today's task.We ended our session with few concepts on timing analysis,which is the last part to be covered in unit 1.Yet to learn the timing analysis in a detail manner!By the way,its Onam tomorrow! God's own country festival! Happy Onam to all..:)

Lakshya 2k14
  Today me and my mates presented a project at the KGiSL institute.It was a good experience participating again at the event;bad luck was that we couldn't participate in any other events!!may be next time,we'll plan out well and participate in all the events!!.so another day to be remembered for getting a new experience!also,our exams starts from tomorrow,hoping to do my best in all the my exams.

Lakshya

  Today I presented a paper at KGiSL institute.This is my First experience in presenting a paper and it was such a good experience to be remembered.It has relieved me off from my stage fear and has given me confidence to present anything in a crowd!the day went on well,and all my other fellow mates presented well too.Learrned few things from each presentation!.Happy that I've kept my first and the best foot forward!Ready to do,more presentations in future.Warm Thanks to the institution too,as this is my first Presentation,also they've selected my paper and happy to present it in front of the heads. 

SCHEMATICS AND LAYOUTS..
      Today we learnt much more intresting basics in our IESA class,where we had a recap on how to draw the schematics.The very Exciting part of today's class was drawing layouts!!amazed to use the software"Microwind", as i never knew that such a software existed.its was easy working on it,unless and until we know how to create schematic diagram.So,another vivid day and hoping for that we work more on this software again. 

MERRY MONDAY &Super September all the way....
  A new Sizzling SEPTEMBER has started.The Day was filled with suspense whether our daily tests would be conducted are not!finally we wrote it down well,and the day went on.In today's IESA class,we learnt the concepts of CMOS much more,in detail.Today,i had a clear view of CMOS,and really had an energy to learn more about it.
    Mr.Vamsi,our Advisor,gave a great lecture on this topic which was very interesting!hope that all my future IESA sessions go in such an enthusiasm in gaining knowledge,apart from books.So,today's class dealt with how to create a schematic diagram for any gate given,using CMOS.
   Tomorrow we are going to learn on how  to create the "Layout diagram"followed by the practical sessions.Looking forward to it!! :)

CMOS Fundamentals!!
   Today was an interesting day where we learnt CMOS fundamentals..we really need to know these basics  as they'll help us in our VLSI programming.So,Morning session started up with the CMOS fundamentals,a very Energetic Recording by Mr.Srikanth Jadcherla..Later,we soon left for the practical sessions,which was the interesting part of the day.Sessions(Exercises) were given to be worked out individually that really helped us to get to know the language in depth,by ourselves.The same continued in our afternoon sessions where,we were still working on it.Thus,the day ended, with the basics of CMOS , new LINUX commands and its functions that we learned in our today's session. :) 

LINUX !!
             Today was a big day,where we started up with LINUX fundamentals..in our morning sessions we got introduction to LINUX from a recording containing two lectures..then we broke up for lunch where after lunch,for next few hours we had our theory classes followed by the practical session ..In our practical session we tried out all the LINUX commands that we learnt newly and were implementing them in our computers.

               Since its an open source software its also easy to work in daily basis at home also..Linus Trovalds invented this language and its a step ahead of the UNIX language ..
          Assignments are given and I am ready to learn this language in depth as its a highly protective  software,which took so many years to find a bug,and this is software is used worldwide..almost all MNC 's are using  this software,i suppose.So,refreshing myself now with the lessons learnt today,and getting ready to learn much more tomorrow.. happy Weekend ahead to all :)

HAPPY HOLS STARTS....

 Though its Vinayaka Charturthi tomorrow,I am preparing myself for the IESA training..tomorrow we're gonna learn the fundamentals of LINUX and i'm excited about it...hoping that we do hands on training sessions by working on the OPEN SORCE SOFTWARE..yet happy holidays to all and have a vivid Vinayaka Charturthi.. !!! :) :) :)

Video conference :

 Today we had a conference with the SEER AKADEMI chairman,Mr.Srikanth Jadcherla.He spent his valuable time with us and gave a complete structure of all the semi conductors companies around the world..

 He also said that LINUX and C are the basics of any programming language..we'll have our LINUX classes from Friday which are hands on programming.this also shows that we should be strong with the fundamentals on any language that we learn..many students popped out their questions to Mr.Jadcherla,who answered all the queries patiently..there came a small chat about 'knowing the right meanings of your name'.

   That part brought curiosity in everyone and i hope that,by this time all would have got to know the right meaning of their names..

   So,waiting to attend the upcoming IESA classes with enthusiasm and the interest to know new language..

 A NEW WEEK,A NEW BEGINNING..

  Today in IESA class we learned many interesting things..especially about DIE,design trends and much more..the very interesting part of today's session was the recording containing MOORE'S law..its this part we take our journey to the VLSI domain!!! really amazing to know that the co-founder of INTEL,Mr.Gordan Moore has proposed a theory on the existence of Transistors..another fun part is that we get to know SOC..yet to learn them in detail..
  got assignments based on MOSFET,Pros and Cons on ASIC-FPGA..
FINFET?? i never even knew that such a FET exists,weird.!!!..so,now i am on my way to know all about FINFET,as its the current technology used..hoping for a thrashing tuesday,where we are going to step into an OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE-LINUX.. greetings to all.. 

Happy birthday AV

Another exciting day this week....interesting DSP classes, we solved energetic problems,yet complicated one;) and a happy lunch with friends in the afternoon..a surprising cake,cut by my friend,AV..happiness was filled in class today with some whispers about the IV trip..lets hope that the plan for IV comes out well this time..got classes tomorrow too,looking forward to it..:) happy weekend ahead ..

C PROMPTS
