Syracuse, NY

SUMMARY:

  • I have worked on Mixed Signal IC design for years. My forte is digital design, and I am also knowledgeable in analog design. I have good personality and I am easy to communicate with. Having led several projects, I am experienced on project planning, executing on meeting scheduled milestones, and mentoring designers in the team.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

ASIC design Director / ASIC design

Responsibilities:

  • MU2411U/G Design Lead (with 2 digital design engineer and analog team) - From IC spec to Tapeout, top level architecture define, spec discussion with other team member, design the following block (using verilog): RISC CPU, DMA, Event block, Flash Controller, Timer, RTC, GPIO, power management, and watch dog timer. This chip includes other block like USB and SPI/I2S, I2C, AES accellerator and Random number generator. There is also analog RF block in this IC. I integrate the digital top level and cowork with analog team to make sure digital-analog interface works. In FPGA verification I check some individual block. (Xilinx FPGA). After design was verified in FPGA,
  • MU2413 Design Lead (with 2 digital design and analog team). - I took over this project when the project lead designer left our company. At that time the project is in FPGA verification phase. This is an wireless mouse SOC. The major part of this IC is RF interface, sensor control (with state-machine SPI engine), GPIO control and power management. This is a small IC and the power is very important. I run the synopsys PrimePower to check the power of digital design. When power does not meet our target, I gate the clock with internal state generated signal. After this IC is back, we achieve our power goal and the active power of the whole mouse beat our competitor with wide margine. I also maintain the RF MAC design in this project. This MAC is compatible with nRF24LE1+ shockburst engine with automatic packet handling, auto packet transaction handling and 6 data pipe MultiCeiver, etc. Same as the MU2411, synthesis, STA, ATPG were all done by me. (2012)
  • New Project RF MAC design - on going, currently my family move to Dallas, so I need to travel back and forth between Dallas and HsinChu. Right now I dose not handle the whole project but design some block of the new project. This is an on going project, I might also need to take care some of the design flow like synthesis, STA, ATPG and power check, etc, this depends on the lead designer decision. (2013)
