Robert Shawn Hector 13215 Fiori Lane Sebastopol, CA 95472 rshawnh@yahoo.com 408-891-0003 1 Results-oriented Engineer with board expertise in Mixed-Signal, Digital, and Analog Circuit Design and a strong natural inclination toward leadership, my involvement starts at specification, and generally continues past evaluation. Strong Systems and Top-Level design skills have lead me to designing Integrated Circuits and FPGA’s in a variety of application areas including Video, Audio, Imaging, and Communications. In all of these designs strong team building and leadership skills were critical in meeting schedule and product specifications. Experience: InVisage Inc. – Menlo Park, CA Winter – 2012/2013 Mixed Signal Verification Engineer - Consultant Responsible for System and Top-Level Modeling and Verification of analog and mixed-signal Imaging systems. Intersil Corporation/Xicor – Milpitas, CA Summer 2005-Fall 2012 (Intersil acquired Xicor in Summer 2005) Senior Staff Mixed Signal Design Engineer Responsible for System and Top-Level Design of analog and mixed-signal systems. I have been a technical and collaborative lead through all phases of the CMOS IC design process. The following include projects at Intersil: • SAR ADC Applications Engineering – 1MHz SAR Evaluation Environment – technical lead o Python GUI development, USB Driver, ADC Evaluation Software o Xilinx FPGA Programming, 8051 Development, Embedied Design o Multiple PCB Designs o Research and Outlined Company-wide Evaluation Platform o Lead Jr. Engineers in Application duties • HDMI/DVI Repeater - 2.2Gbits/s LVDS in 0.18um CMOS – technical lead o Top-Level architecture, integration, and Circuit Design o Top-Level simulation and verification(VMM) o Advised and lead analog and digital engineers to meet block level specification o Research and Outlined HDMI specification to designers o FPGA Design Verification • Video/Imaging Analog Front End - 170 MHz 10 bits in 0.18um CMOS – technical lead o Flash ADC system design – performance optimizations and design o Top-Level Design and Verification o Digital Design – Dither, Encoder • ADC - Sigma Delta – 12 bit resolution 12 oversampling 25 MHz bandwidth o System Modeling using Matlab,Verilog A, and Spice o Top Level assembly o Circuit Design of Second Order Modulator Loop • Pipeline – 14 bit 100 Mhz in 0.18u o Verification and simulation of top-level 2 Xicor/AIP - Milpitas, CA Summer 2002 – Summer 2005 (Xicor acquired AIP in Summer 2003) Staff Mixed Signal Design Engineer – technical lead Responsible for System and Top-Level Design of analog/mixed-signal system including: • Video/Imaging Analog Front End - 300 MHz 8 bits in 0.18um CMOS o Flash ADC system design – Timing and performance optimizations o Top-Level Design and Verification o Circuit Design – comparators, controls, timing circuits, ADC Encoders • Video/Imaging Analog Front End - 170 MHz 10 bits in 0.18um CMOS o Flash ADC system design – performance optimizations o Top-Level Design and Verification • Advised and lead analog and digital engineers to meet block level specifications Analog Integration Partners - Milpitas CA Spring 99 - Summer 2002 Staff Mixed Signal Design Engineer I was responsible for Digital, Analog, and System Circuit Design of Mixed Signal Intellectual Property including: • Video/Imaging Analog Front End -225 MHz 8 bits in 0.25um CMOS o Flash ADC system design o DSP – Color Space Converter, Automatic Black Level Control, Dither o Top-Level Design and Modeling- Top Level assembly and integration o Circuit Design – ADC timing circuits, ADC Encoders, Analog Circuitry o Digital Design – I2C,Controls, Digital PLL, Sync Processor o Researched and design I2C from specification • Flash, Sigma Delta, Pipeline ADC’s – 1MHz to 50MHz with 8 to12 bits of resolution o System Modeling using Matlab,Verilog A, and Spice o Top-Level Circuit Design o Top-Level Verification • 1 GB Ethernet AFE – Full duplex, 250 MHz 5 bit ADC in 0.18u CMOS o Analog Filter Design – LC Ladder using Operation Simulation 75 MHz -3dB point with a 6dB peaking at 50Mhz o System Verification – Verified design using Spice o System Modeling using Matlab to find design trade-offs o Amplifier Design • Intellectual Property Transfers - Worked directly and closely with customers to understand specification and requirements.
