Roles:  senior digital and backend design engineer (5 years): 

·        Performing all the design work to create an IC from creating the functional specification of the digital part upto the signoff of the silicon.

Achievements:

·        The design of the digital receiver part for a Philips hearing aid chip (digital and Multi Project Waver)

·        A basestation IC for Ericsson (digital partly, layout completely).

·        A battery management chip for Philips thaver and toothbrush (digital controller and full layout) also Logic product 74LV4799.

·        A redesign/reverse engineering of a whole Philips Sopho callcentre chipset (5) from NMOS to CMOS with only part of the netlist and testvectors (digital and layout)

1987-1990 : ASIC productgroup (library group and gate-arrays).                      

At Philips Elcoma Nijmegen.

Role: mix-signal design engineer (3 years):
