4. Sprinkler Buddy Marketing Why Sprinkler Buddy ?

5. $52 Million market potential 1.1 Billion potential customers 100% yearly market growth 6 month payback to customer Sprinkler Buddy at-a-glance

6. Large and Untapped Market 95% of the 1.1 billion farmers are from developing nations 60% of irrigation water wastage in these nations

7. The South Asian Farmer Average yearly income is $795.56 25% of yearly earnings are lost In water costs

8. Current Solutions: Expensive/Un-automated Prohibitively expensive for the average farmer Customer forced to make a choice Do not adhere to standard guidelines

9. Sprinkler Buddy: The low cost, automated solution !

10. The Sprinkler Buddy Advantage Simple ease of use Low Power Design Exhaustive Metrics Low Cost Solution Rain Bird Gorman-Rupp Jain Sprinklers Sprinkler Buddy Minimal Setup and Service Solar Powered Design UN Certified Water Output Calculations Low Cost Alternative

11. Project Description Overview of Chip’s features –Brief description of water equation –Breakdown of modes –Key Feature Listing Power Gating Quiet bit line SRAM Semi-Clocked Architecture

12. Behavioral Description Detailed description of each mode using flowcharts –Translation of algorithm to hardware –FSM specifications –Sharing of FPUs Interaction between modes Detailed description of main FSM (power)

13. Design Process Verilog –Verification and simulation of FSM control Floor Plan –Describe placement method Schematic –Optimal Sizing –Selection of logic style according to power requirements –Power shut off integration Layout –Compact custom shaped designs –FSMs –Power and Clock Distributions

14. Floor Plan Evolution Show all iterations Describe reasoning behind differences Display all 7 versions

15. Layout Show cool layouts –All major components –Power Gating –FSMs Show different metal layers

16. Verification Verification methodology Outputs from all modes VDD gating simulation

17. VDD Rise Verification

18. VDD Fall Verification

19. Mode Output Verification

21. Final Error Output Verification

22. Final Valve Enable Output Verification

23. Issues Encountered Routing of Control Signals Partitioning of work Gnd gating Lots of other problems…

24. Sprinkler Buddy Specification Chip Specification –Area, Density, Transistor Counts, etc.
