Pipelined ADC

 

Low Cost Line Power Meter

 


 

Designed for use in high end computer rack power strips this board demos the shunt patent, IP, and provides a practical volume manufacturing solution.

Generally I don't do much board design but since this is a small board I did the whole thing. I.e.

  • Schematic design.
  • Board layout and assembly.
  • Software development for the on board PIC.

Board information

 

PCI Ethernet Board

 

 
While Snr. Director Engineering for SMC I was responsible for several external deals.

Shown left are SMC's first PCI Ethernet cards. Seeing that we could not develop a first generation PCI board in time I did a deal for the silicon that helped introduce this board more quickly.

These are the resulting boards.

 

Integrated ISA Ethernet Board

 

 
I was responsible for engineering management during the development of the very high volume board, running board and silicon design groups.

However, I did add some hardware suggestions to the chip circuit which allowed the board to pipeline data transfers and allow SMC to compete effectively on performance.

 

Switch Mode Power Supplies / Inverters

 
At the age of 17 I was a already a professional designer! At Garners transformers I designed a series of switch mode power supplies for military applications. For many of the products I also designed the transformers / magnetics.
