These patents were my inventions that I made
while working at Motorola, Freescale, National Semiconductor and
Texas Instruments.
I worked as an Electrical Design Engineer in the
circuit design and development of radios, pagers, microprocessor
controlled radio receivers, computer aided design software and
tools, maskap recognition and DRC checking of integrated circuit
designs, micro-machined polysilicon sensors, analog circuit
designs for automotive electronics, consumer flatscreen
backlight drivers, switching regulators
using hysteritic control, pulse-width control, buck, boost and
buck-boost designs, HV power electronics, automotive circuits for relay drivers, switches,
regulators, transceivers for SPI, CAN, air-bag deployment,
accelerometer sensor, anti-lock braking controls, fault detection
circuits, AC-DC power converters, PFC circuits, high efficiency
power conversion, silicon based MEMS oscillator.
In my day to day work I worked with marketing,
semiconductor IC design, simulation, development, test, product
verification and application validation teams as well as quality
control, failure analysis and on-going production support.
I witnessed the grow of microprocessor and memory integration
into products, the use of custom ASICs, custom analog, the
growth of simulation tools and software languages. Till the
end of my career, I found many good uses for the old standard
Tektronix 575 Curve Tracer.
I worked with and supported the
development of many key semiconductor processes including
I2L, Mosaic 1.5, Smartmos 2.5, 3, 5, 7, ABCD5HV, ABCD6,
VHVIC, TSMC250, TSMC120, GF BiCMOS SiGE.
