8th mile-stone - A story of 2kbps line and 8x clock multiplier Can you ever imagine about a student from a remote village having 2kbps internet speed, building an On-Chip PLL IP that provides 8x of reference clock, which you will use to model your jitter and uncertainty in STA? Isn't that UNBELIEVABLE? Meet @User, who fought this situation like a KING and came out like a true WINNER This time, VSD Research IP design 8-week internship were a series of stories about people and students reaching great heights, using available resources. Thanks to Pandemic, every VSD student from every corner of the world realized the power of open-source EDA for VLSI learning/trainings Leaving politics aside, imagine what a student would had done in lock-down for past 4-months, has no access to college, hence no access to tool licenses and min internet speed. Thanks to open-source EDA, in last 4 months. @User was able to achieve 40MHz to 100MHz clock frequency in PLL mode post-layout using osu180nm tech node in a matter of 8-weeks Here's his entire GitHub repository which explains all minute details about his work - An absolute masterpiece https://github.com/parasgidd/avsdpll_3v3 GitHub is indeed your new resume
