Thesis title: Design of PVT Tolerant Inverter Based Circuits for Low Supply Voltages
Advisor: Prof. Ramesh Harjani

Technology scaling with decreasing supply voltages made people to move towards inverter based amplifiers. However inherent PVT variations of inverters restrained people from using it in products. My thesis focused on designing inverter based circuits with emphasis on PVT tolerance to make them feasible in industries. Worked on various filters, ADCs and Driver architectures which is system integratable.
