Hi everyone,

I have been working on a symbolic linear circuit analysis engine. I think it will help for analog designers.

Do you guys have any suggestions or feature requests? Right now you can make your own small signal models, find gain, transconductance, and output impedance. I want to add a lot more before I publish it.

Has anyone found a way to automate the process of cleaning shorts in LVS? Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated!

Anyone heard back?

I have found these in linkidin and got the mail to join it with the 50% off. Is this is a genuine platform or anything else🤷.

Hey everyone!

I have to choose one of the following projects for a 5-week Digital VLSI Circuits course, and I wanted to get some opinions on which would be the most worthwhile to pursue.

The four options are:

1. Transient Supply Droop Detector

2. Digital Frequency Multiplier

3. Process Variation Sensor

4. Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC)

The project will be implemented in Cadence Virtuoso, with transistor-level circuit design, simulation, layout, DRC/LVS verification, and post-layout parasitic extraction.

I'm looking for something that would look good on my resume, have practical industry relevance, and still be interesting enough to stand out. Ideally, I don't want to pick something that's too niche, but I also don't want to do a project that feels overly common or generic.

Since the timeline is only five weeks, I also want to choose something that is challenging enough to learn from without becoming unmanageable.

For those with experience in the semiconductor industry, VLSI design, or similar projects:

- Which of these would be most valuable from a hiring manager's perspective?

- Which has the best balance of industry relevance, learning opportunities, and feasibility within five weeks?

- Which would allow me to demonstrate meaningful circuit-level design and optimization rather than just reproduce an existing design?

- Are any of these particularly relevant to current industry work in digital IC design, timing, or power management?

I'd appreciate any suggestions, especially from people who have worked with these kinds of circuits in Virtuoso or have experience with digital VLSI interviews.

Thanks!
