Every Atharva Silicon program ends in a hands-on project — not a slide deck. Here's a sample of the work our students have shipped across each specialization.
A synthesizable 8-bit RISC processor core built from the ground up in RTL, covering the fetch-decode-execute pipeline.
A self-checking verification environment with constrained-random stimulus and functional coverage for a UART DUT.
Floorplanning through routing on a synthesized netlist, taken to a clean DRC/LVS-ready layout.
Setup/hold analysis and constraint debugging across clock domains, closing out every violating path.
Analog layout of a two-stage operational amplifier, applying matching techniques to minimize parasitic mismatch.
A full run through ECO handling and pre-tape-out sign-off checks on a real design block.
A microcontroller-based sensor node reading temperature and humidity data, transmitted to a cloud dashboard.
Bring-up, testing and debugging of firmware on a microcontroller board using simulation and hardware debug tools.
A finite-state-machine-driven communication controller, synthesized and verified against a reference testbench.
Every course track ends in a hands-on capstone like these — reviewed by a mentor before you add it to your portfolio.
