About Chakravartula Nallani

My speciality is in the area of RF/analog/Mixed-signal IC design. I have experience in designing and taping out ICs in advanced silicon CMOS (65nm, 90nm) processes using CAD tools from Cadence. I\'m currently employed at Broadcom Limited(prior to acquisition it was Avago Technologies), San Jose where I\'m involved in designing ICs for multi-Gigabit fiber optic transceivers(TIA, Laser Drivers, PLL, CDR, Equalizer). I have a MS in EE from University of Florida(GPA 4.0) and BS in EE from IIT-Bombay, India.Specialties: 1) Designing Analog and Digital circuits using Cadence Virtuoso, ADS tools, performing simulations and layout,Design automation Skill, Ocean2) Designing Digital Signal Processing(DSP) and RF systems with Agilent ADS, MATLAB3) Programming knowledge and other Software Packages: C/C++, Verilog, VHDL, Ansoft Designer, HFSS, Protel (PCB)4) RF testing and measurements: experience in using probe station, Network Analyzers, Spectrum Analyzers, DCA, BERT etc for IC characterization
