Architecture design, VHDL coding and simulation of frame buffer manager portion of a Digital Video Recorder system using Altera FLEX FPGAs with Leonardo Spectrum VHDL synthesis and Altera Quartus-II place and route tools.
	Architecture design, VHDL coding, simulation, and lab debugging for a Xilinx Virtex-E XCV600E FPGA running at 66 and 132 MHz using Synplicity, Xilinx, and Model Technology tools. Used in a Voice over IP product.
	Chip architecture and VHDL design and simulation for portions of 2 CMOS standard cell ASICs using Synopsys, Model Technology, code coverage, and formal verification tools. Gate counts were 250k+ with design rules of 0.25 micron or smaller. Chips were used in a multi-gigabit ATM switch. Fab was IBM.
	Architecture design and vendor selection for an estimated 200k gate CMOS standard cell ASIC targeted for a multi-gigabit ATM switch. Fab was to be ST. Project was canceled just as coding began.
	System design and VHDL design and simulation of 22000-gate, 0.8 micron CMOS gate array ASIC following prototyping in Xilinx FPGAs using Synopsys, Model Technology, and Xilinx tools. Fab was AMI.
	Schematic design and simulation of a 9200-gate, 1.0 micron CMOS gate array ASIC using Viewlogic tools. Fab was AMI. Custom C model written for behavioral simulation and test vector generation.
