Projects Undertaken
10/100Mbps Ethernet NIC

Description         : Design and implement 10/100 Mbps Ethernet NIC to evaluate the MAC core in live network. The MAC with glue logic is implemented to get a complete DLL layer functionality on two Xilinx FPGAs.
Duration             : 10 months
Team Size          : 2
Responsibilities : Been through entire life cycle of the project.

• Understand the MAC layer functionality as detailed in IEEE 802.3u standards

• Developed the specification and detailed RTL design document for the memory management interface, physical layer interface, ISA interface, synchronization circuit and TX controllers
• Write Synthesizable RTL code for all the above blocks
• Implemented the entire design in two Xilinx FPGAs, each with gate count of 28k, at 50MHz
• Resolve the timing issues by suitably constraining systhesis and place and route processes.
• Performe post layout timing simulation for entire design

• Planned a strategy to test all the MAC features
• Prepared the layout of Physical Interface using a dedicated Physical Layer device (SEEQ)
• Schematic and routing of 4 layerd PCB for ISA addon card
• Coded a preliminary C program for testing NIC functionality in DOS mode
