Darrell Hayes Email & Phone Number

Well seasoned, reliable & creative Electronics Hardware Designer. I started out in the analog world & have moved into the digital arena over the last several years. I have great communications skills and get along well with others, but can function virtually independently. I've been referred to as a one man wrecking crew when it comes to the workload that I can handle. I always enjoy a new challenge and am always thinking about alternative approaches that may improve a design.Initial architecture development, component research, simulation, schematic capture, BOM generation, PCB layout, CPLD design, technical guide, initial bring up, debug, system integration, design verification, production test procedures.• Initial design concept / block diagrams: Word, Excel, Visio, etc• Simulation: Altium, PSPICE, online simulators like LT SPICE, TI Tina, etc, learning ModelSim• Schematic Capture: Altium, Pads, ORCAD, PCAD, DxDesigner, & others• PLM: Omnify, Arena• PLD: Quartus II• PCB layout: Altium, Pads, Allegro, & others• Analog Design: discrete designs, passives, diodes, transistors, op amps, voltage regulators, transformers, etc., low noise, low distortion, active & passive filters • Mixed Signal: ADCs, DACs, Class-D, SMPS• Digital: standard logic, MCU, DSP, Memory, CPLD ( glue logic, SPI switching, signal multiplexing )• Specialized: SPDIF, HDMI, USB, Volume Controls, MDAC, VCA, video filters & amplifiers, PLL• Interfaces: SPI, I2C, I2S, LVDS, RS-232, Ethernet, USB• Design for compliance: ESD, radiated, RFI, signal integrity, GHz transmission lines, PCB stackup• Knowledge of passive secondary effects: ESR, TCR, dielectric absorption, etc• Design for manufacturability• Lab instruments: DMM, Scope, Power Meter, Active Load, Signal Generators, Spectrum Analyzer, Audio Precision, Aardvark ( USB SPI master ), PLD & memory programmers.

Listed skills include Analog, Electronics, Digital Signal Processors, Pcb Design, and 36 others.
