MOST IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTIONS
1.) 1985 Motorola Tone Signaling zero crossing encoder/decoder (ESP/Shark Program) Modat, ZVEI etc.
First CMOS MPU (COSMAC) based decoder in a Motorola handheld radio.
Significance: Architect and Innovator together with Dave Muri, who radically changed
the direction of commercial Low Power Portable Electronics of the time; Transitioning from I2L (bipolar
technology) to CMOS using programmable microcontrollers for multi standard. Significantly, altered the course
of electronics at Motorola and the rest of the industry. The technique was used in Motorola s flagship handheld
MX Radio later in Saber Radio. Established Motorola as the clear leader in all aspects of portable
communications. Also awarded Motorola s first Microprocessor based Patent in the Handheld radio. (Patent
#4213185).This was an Industry first and used common hardware for both the encoder and decoder (all digital
zero crossing decoder approach).
2.) 1988 Manager and Sole designer of BurrBrowns (TI) first Precision 12 bit CMOS MDAC 7541A in 5u
CMOS
Significance: Significantly impacted trends in the adoption of CMOS technology for precision analog
products. Previous to this design, 12 bit guaranteed precision was not achievable in standard digital CMOS
Technology. The product stood the test of time and is still in production and is in the TI mixed signal data book.
(see technical publication #1)
3.) 1995 Intel s Lead Analog Designer Adopting Deep Submicron Analog CMOS technology for Serial Link
Communication on the CPU including USB2 and Ethernet on Motherboard and Solano SDRAM Design Lead.
Significance: Intel s analog capabilities were minimal and the pressure to integrated analog capabilities
onto the CPU and Chip Sets required significant modification of the design infrastructure (modeling, tools,
methodology). Intel being the #1 semiconductor supplier in the world, had the greatest impact on commercial
electronics. Integrating precision analog electronics was key to continued market leadership. Direct design
contributions were made by Jim Doyle to Ethernet 100Mbit, USB and USB2 serial ATA etc including the
integration of the first precision bandgap and subbandgap on Intel s products. These contributions enabled Intel
to retain the market leadership in Serial Link Communications on the Motherboard and Chip sets.. In addition,
Jim Doyle was the analog design lead for the SDRAM effort in a covert effort within Intel to backup Intel s stated
market position supporting RDRAM. The impact to the industry was estimated at >$10B. The success of Solano
and the 815/845 allowed Intel to regain market leadership in chip sets and memory interfaces markets. Also Jim
architected the first DDR interface using DLL technology on Intel Chip sets.
4.) 2001 National Semiconductor Analog Design Lead and COPEC Research Design Center Founder for
Powerwise Technology
Significance: Perhaps the most significant impact to National semiconductor s market direction and
image within the electronic sector. The impact is readily observed in the green initiative and National s stated
market direction and product support for PowerWiseTM technology. Jim was instrumental in setting up the ARM,
National, Artisan alliance for dynamic closed loop power supply control which is estimated in a savings >50%
over conventional dynamic voltage scaling . Jim recruited engineering team and was the senior design lead and
acting site technical manager. He designed the LM3230 CMOS PA controller for TriQuint Semiconductor which
was the highest margin product in National s portfolio. This also was the smallest lowest cost GSM EDGE
controller in the industry
5.) 2005 Intel s NBI Integrated Power Electronics and Massive Parallel Computing Initiative
Significance: NBI formed a integrated power initiative to reduce the cost of platform level
solutions in the ATOM or UMPC emerging handheld CPU market segments. Innovative ground breaking
techniques were developed including autonomous phase dropping, an industry first which maintains optimum
efficiency over all load conditions. Increase to battery life for handheld products incorporating this technology
was measured to be greater than 30%. The design was one of the most advanced power controllers in the
industry with advanced capabilities including power telemetry reporting, also boot strap startup which allows the
power supply controller to be run directly off of a high voltage battery supply with deep submicron processes
(>2X the breakdown). Most recently, Jim is the key technical lead on an NBI initiative to bring massive
biologically inspired parallel computing using FPGA and GPU technology.
