For PD Engineers Saturn is the adhidevatha. Saturn is in own house of Kumbha.  Lot of work, lot of pressure, results directly proportional to the hard work, savings are good because you will not have time to spend, income will be always less than expected, work life balance is lololol. Role will be lol and responsibilities will be many. Insult will be too high. Recognition will be good but delayed. Mercury is strong so the native will figure out some work arounds and tape outs will happen eventually. Venus is strong so they will enjoy whatever the work they do. For better results do some actual runs also along with the runs daily...  for rtl folks Jupiter is the adhidevaltha. Jupiter moves to mesha soon. There will be new design work and not just incremental updates. Whoever learns new protocols, standards, etc will get great roles. Jupiter will be with Rahu until November so you may miss out some major functional or architectural aspects and correct them post Nov. income and expenses

Happy birthday Darshil :)

  I was most terrified now when LVS still had 20 non eqs before tapeout and not only when my wife is around but when we were in an open jeep with my little tiger daughter and with min spacing to a totally bindaas Lion in Sadan Gir in Gujarat. But it was quite memorable to see a lion so close. It’s a must visit for all. But if you don’t have plans sooner you can meet up with the Engineering sample of the same lion from the Gujarat at our own SRR4; the Sher Dil wala Shehansha, Darshil Shah 🙂. Happy birthday Shah ji 🙂

Happy birthday Vinod :)

 Not so many years back, the semiconductor industry was baffled with one issue…across companies and projects, things started behaving rather vaguely…suddenly simulations were failing, timing, physical verification, atpg everything is failing badly…lot of debug went in but in vain…surprisingly within 1-2 days all the results came back to normal…without any change…the industry came together and formed a Mission March 7 to figure out whats happening…Captain Jack sparrow, one of the team members did an extensive study and observed that the clock on period has increased quite a bit; the clocks are switching much faster…the pmos power consumption has increased considerably due to high switching and more so because as if all the pmos in the design are switching simultaneously as if in a celebration…memory reads are much faster…the alternate drive cells are all increased in width and driving much faster…the odd metals m1-m3-m7…are all increased in width and reduced spacing…theres a lot of cros

Happy birthday Anup :)

 The zeta flop generation may not know or may only have heard about but our generation has lived through how Ganguly taught the Indian cricket team how to Win. His leadership, bravery, mentorship and aggressiveness are all legendary. But as an individual the best thing about Gangs is his offside timing. Place all the fielders as routing blockages in the off side and still he would find a routing track to place and pierce the field through exquisite timing. Anup is our own Ganguly who talks timing, walks timing and works timing 🙂 (except about Army stories sometimes). Unfortunately we have a setup violation in wishing him 🙂. Happy birthday Anup bhai 🙂 There is of course another story of two Parihar brothers born a few days apart jo mele mein bichhadgaye…that will be on some other die and in some other timing window…🙂

Joyous Pmos switching
