Thee Opportunity
Allegro MicroSystems in Prague is looking for a motivated and curious student to join our experienced Mixed-Signal Design Verification (MDSV) team as an Intern. This is a fantastic opportunity to start your career at a world leader in high-accuracy magnetic sensors and gain hands-on experience in a critical engineering discipline.
What You Will Learn
The fundamental principles of magnetic sensors and the analog and digital circuits they are composed of.
How to write and run verification tests, from elementary blocks up to the full top-level device.
How to use state-of-the-art, industry-standard EDA tools from Cadence.
How to create and use behavioral models for individual blocks and systems to achieve effective, fast, and accurate verification.
Your Project:
Simulation time reduction of switch-cap circuits using AMS and DMS approaches
Switched-capacitor circuits, such as those used in filters, are notoriously challenging to simulate due to their high switching frequencies. To accelerate simulation without a significant loss of accuracy, we use advanced Mixed-Signal models.
Your core project will be to investigate two different modeling approaches—AMS (Verilog-AMS) and DMS (SystemVerilog). While DMS can offer higher simulation speeds, it presents unique challenges at the model-to-transistor interface. Your goal will be to determine the benefits of each approach and propose solutions to the associated challenges.
Key Tasks:
Become familiar with our Mixed-Signal simulation environment, including the Cadence AMS simulator and modeling languages (Verilog-AMS, SystemVerilog).
Build both AMS and DMS models of a switched-capacitor circuit.
Perform a detailed comparison of simulation time and accuracy between Transistor-Level, AMS, and DMS simulations.
Integrate the model you create into a full-chip simulation environment.
Document your findings and share your results with Allegro's global mixed-signal verification community.
Who We're Looking For:
A student pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Microelectronics, or a related technical field.
A foundational understanding of analog and/or digital electronic circuits.
A strong interest in semiconductor design, verification, and simulation.
An inquisitive mindset and a proactive attitude toward learning and problem-solving.
Good communication skills in English.
