16:19 <mkk_> [Kunal Ghosh, skywater-pdk] 3rd mile-stone in 1-week in field of open-source - 4kB SRAM design

16:19 <mkk_> @Yash joined our research project group under VSD Research internship program which runs for 8-weeks. He was supposed to explore openRAM memory compiler flow, develop all custom cells required by openRAM using OSU180nm and generate 4kB SRAM with an access time of 2.5ns

16:19 <mkk_> One more time, take a back-seat and appreciate/encourage all freshers like @Yash (who is just in Final year of graduation) to do a similar kind of work, by congratulating them. Again, GitHub is indeed your new Resume

16:19 <mkk_> Here's his GitHub link which shows his masterpiece work of art which includes layouts and characterization results for 6T-cell (read/write operation and stability), N-curve, sense amplifier, write-driver and tri-state buffer

16:19 <mkk_> Almost 90% of the tasks have been finished, including pre-layout and post-layout circuit characterization for one corner, as that's what was available openly. There is a last part which needs us to plug all components to openRAM compiler, and we will do it soon.

16:19 <mkk_> The next part of research will be to port this entire project on google+sky130nm open-process, and make it work with openRAM memory compiler
