“Low Cost Irrigation Management For Everyone ! ”
Current Status Determine Project Develop Project Specifications Plan Architectural Design
Determination of all components in design Detailed logical flowchart
Design a Floor Plan Create Structural Verilog Make Transistor Level Schematic Layout
(~85% done..all modules LVS, Some Global Routed, FSMs are incomplete)
Testing (Extraction, LVS, and Analog Sim.) Glitches removed from all logic
Updated Design SizeBlock (# used) Size (um)

Layout: Progress
All Big Modules LVS Separate Operation Modes wired
Hourly Update, Computation Mode, and Feed Back are done
Daily Update is wired with the exception of the feedback loop
3/6 FSMs are not complete Sizes estimated Space left
Layout : Entire Chip
Power Logic
Gating Sections
Chip separated into 7 virtual VDD/GND sections1 in HU, 3 in DU, 3 in CMDistributes load and reduces power rail

Design Challenges and Implementation
DecisionsFor The Past Week
Design Challenge
Translation to HW
Low Power • Power Gating to reduce leakage current• Sacrificed Density for Power Savings
Problems/QuestionsFSM routing was much more complex
than expected
For Next TimeFinish
