Designed and maintained hardware for a multi-protocol wide area network communications system. Preserved revenue by implementing a Xilinx FPGA programmable gate array design to replace an obsolete key communications integrated circuit, while maintaining strict requirements for software compatibility, low power consumption, and low cost, thus. Retained customers by troubleshooting design problems with a proprietary bus interface and with an off the shelf component in the field and implementing… Show more Designed and maintained hardware for a multi-protocol wide area network communications system. Preserved revenue by implementing a Xilinx FPGA programmable gate array design to replace an obsolete key communications integrated circuit, while maintaining strict requirements for software compatibility, low power consumption, and low cost, thus. Retained customers by troubleshooting design problems with a proprietary bus interface and with an off the shelf component in the field and implementing solutions. Developed loader code in Motorola 56000 DSP and AMD 29000 RISC assembly language for a high speed communications bridge. Wrote state machine microcode for a communications bus controller module.
