Cadence Design Systems (India) Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of Cadence (NASDAQ: CDNS), today announced the winners of the Cadence India Design Contest 2014. A flagship initiative of the Cadence University Program, the 10th annual edition provided engineering students an opportunity to showcase their talents in electronic design.
The team from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad took the prize in the Master’s category for their project titled “Inductor-Less Reconfigurable Charge Pump Based Micro-Scale Energy Harvesting System For Self-Powered Devices” and the Bachelor’s category prize was awarded to the team from the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) Behrampur for their work on “Windows-Based Optimized Digital FIR Low-Pass Filter For iPod MP3 Player.” Two teams from NIT Hamirpur and BMS College of Engineering received Special Mentions in the Master’s and Bachelor’s categories respectively.
