Master Degree's Projects

Rail-to-Rail OTA
(Microelectronic system design - Analog) - team of 3 students
A August 2016 – Ω September 2016

The task is the design of a rail-to-rail OTA starting from a known topology. The aim was to catch up with 
the given requirements, so the transistors have been designed accordingly. Then, the output current,
with a varying differential voltage to the input, has been analyzed as long as its performance as a buffer.
This project has been realized using an educational design kit based on LTSPICE for the schematic and
simulations. GLADE (whose command-set and interface is compatible with the CADENCE VIRTUOSO
layout editor) was used for the layout editing

A 5.25 GHz Cascode LNA in 0.35μm CMOS technology Engineering

(Wireless System Electronics) - team of 2 students
A September 2016 – Ω January 2017 Software
Two different Cascode LNA topologies: one with a resonant output filter and one with a matched output CADENCE Virtuoso
impedance are studied. Both topologies are first designed with ideal components and then with more Advanced Design
realistic ones, using a 0.35μm CMOS technology. A detailed analysis is given in order to highlight the System (ADS)
gain and linearity losses. Thus, the designed LNA is used in a transceiver and the whole system perfor- Glade
mance is analyzed with MatLab - Simulink. LTSpice

 Audio Delay Quartus II
(Digital System Project) - team of 3 students 
A October 2016 – Ω February 2017

As students fond of music, we decided to work on a sound-based project involving the use of the audio 
CODEC,provided within the Altera DE2 Board, to sample an audio track and store it in the SRAM. Hence,
since we have the digital samples, a lot of different operations (echo, distortion, etc.) can be performed. 
We eventually decided to create an echo effect with a variable delay and volume control. The project is 
realized in Verilog (HDL) and Quartus II as a design software.

Client/Server Application
(Operating System and C concurrent programming)
A May 2017 - Ω June 2017

The project's aim is to create a client/server application. Client and server must communicate via TCP
socket. The server and the clients are concurrent, so competition and resources allocation must be dealt
with using POSIX threads. The main thread must remain constantly waiting for new incoming connections.
Every incoming connection must be assigned to a thread among the ones previously allocated. They are
responsible for handling requests and a set of given tasks.

Study on two differently-shaped plates

(Sensor and Microsystems)
A June 2017 - Ω June 2017

The aim of this project is to analyse a 224x256 array of plates arranged so to realise a microsystem used
for a digital fingerprint sensor. The focus is on two different geometry for each micro-structure. A circular
and a square geometry are studied and analysed with the aid of a FEM analysis software (COMSOL) to
evaluate the deformation and the resulting strain on them.
