Prasad Motepalli is an experienced Analog and Mixed-Signal design engineer with over 13 years of expertise in analog circuit design, AMS verification, and CAD/EDA flow development. He has worked across advanced semiconductor process nodes including 7nm, 14nm, 22nm, and 180nm technologies from leading foundries. His technical contributions span a wide range of high-speed and high-performance designs, including SERDES for PCIe and D2D interfaces, GDDR7 memory systems, LPDDR architectures, USB2.0, HDMI, and GPIO libraries. He has hands-on experience in designing critical analog blocks such as delta-sigma ADCs, temperature sensors, calibration circuits, TX drivers, RX slicers, and PLL-related subsystems. Prasad has led multiple teams in the development of complex IPs and SoCs, contributing to full-chip integration, modeling, and verification methodologies. He has also played a key role in timing library characterization, IBIS model generation, and behavioral modeling using industry-standard tools like Cadence Virtuoso, Liberate, and Spectre. His expertise extends to automation and CAD flow development using SKILL, Python, and shell scripting. He holds a Master’s degree in VLSI from VEDA-IIT Hyderabad and a Bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from JNTU, Hyderabad.
