Objective: Develop commercial analog integrated circuits.
Have developed analog integrated circuits for various applications
from audio/video to industrial control. These include opamps,
bandgaps, i2c interfaces, crystal and rc oscillators, temperature
sensing, low dropout voltage regulators, 16 bit analog to digital
converters and charge pump circuits. Low power CMOS design and
circuits at both low and high voltages have been designed. I have
designed in submicron technologies and have a good background in
device and semiconductor physics. Digital controllers and
asynchronous interfaces using VHDL coding were designed. I have
designed SRAM and EEPROM memories and EEPROM memory
latch cells for analog circuit trim/calibration.
