Custom I2C Slave IP Development: Engineered a high-performance custom I2C slave IP module in Verilog, enhancing direct communication between internal and external systems and eliminating the need for additional connectivity interfaces. The design process involved comprehensive verification in SystemVerilog, followed by meticulous synthesis, floor-planning, routing, and bitstream generation. Extensive testing on the Cyclone V E FPGA development board validated functionality and robustness, seamlessly integrating the final design into the existing product. This solution significantly optimized data communication pathways and strengthened overall module interoperability within the system architecture. Power Optimization & Performance Improvement: Developed and optimized an FPGA design for a critical project on the Cyclone V FPGA, achieving approximately 15% reduction in power consumption while maintaining high performance. Conducted a detailed analysis of various power optimization techniques, including dynamic clock gating, voltage scaling, and optimized resource utilization. Through iterative testing and refinement, implemented a tailored solution that minimized power usage more effectively than initial approaches, ultimately extending battery life and enhancing overall energy efficiency.
