- Hardware

Using CAD and various HDL and visual vendor tools I synthesized logic and performed simulations to create ASICs, FPGAs, GAL/PALs etc., and assisted in component selection and PCB board layout design and reviews. I created an ASIC for the 1st implementation of my patent, which networked digital voice data between all points in Vodavi PBX systems. I designed various analog circuits (e.g., amplifiers, filters, power supplies). And I worked on productization teams to acquire UL/CSA/CE and FCC certifications.
