PROFILE

Pedro Mendonca

Pedro Mendonca developed automated timing-closure solutions for the analogdevicesinc/hdl repository, focusing on Vivado-based FPGA design flows. He introduced Tcl-based post-route scripts and build automation flags that standardized timing fixes across multiple hardware platforms, including fmcomms2, fmcomms5, DAQ2, and ADRV936x boards. By refactoring project scripts and migrating workflows to an ATF-driven approach, Pedro reduced manual tuning and improved timing reliability. His work consolidated hold-time fixes, modernized route-design automation, and enabled smoother upgrades to newer Vivado toolchains. Leveraging skills in HDL design, Tcl scripting, and timing analysis, Pedro delivered maintainable, device-specific solutions that accelerated build cycles and enhanced hardware robustness.

Month: 2025-12 | In analogdevicesinc/hdl, delivered significant automation and timing improvements for Vivado-based HDL flows. Focused on hold timing fixes and route-design workflow modernization. Key outcomes include consolidated hold-timing fixes across Vivado 4xx/2025.x, a new ATF-based workflow, and device-specific route scripts for ADRV9361Z7035 and ADRV9364, plus a new ADI_POST_ROUTE_POD_PRE_SCRIPT flag. Removed legacy route_design.tcl in favor of ATF, enabling more reliable timing closure, easier maintenance, and smoother upgrades.

September 2025 - Analog Devices HDL repository: Delivered an automated post-route timing fix (ATF) framework and timing-closure optimization across fmcomms2, fmcomms5, and DAQ2 boards. The work reduces post-routing timing violations and minimizes manual tuning, accelerating design readiness and improving hardware reliability. Standardized project file inclusion, introduced ADI_POST_ROUTE_SCRIPT build flag, and applied congestion-aware strategies (Congestion_SpreadLogic_high) to address hold-time issues across multiple designs.
