Li-ion Battery Cell Controllers ICs for 48V battery solutions, declined in 14 or 6 cells.

Digital design Leader :* Definition of needs, direct partnership with the customer, documentations & specifications,* Architecture definition for the logic core (mixed-signal devices),* Design team leader : quotation, die size estimation, schedule, execution plan, tasks sharing, follow-up,* Design in accordance with state of the art : simple, robust, small, low consumption, functional, testable. Creative mind, permanent search of innovative solutions,* Developpment and design following ISO26262 functional safety standard,* Verification, simulations, validations, iterations to optimize the design, searching for the first-pass success,* Constraint setting, synthesis to the gate level, test insertion,* Place & Route, clock trees insertion, timing optimization,* Static timing analysis, post-layout validations,* Automatic test pattern generation (at-speed, static), compression,* Lab characterization, performance measurements,* Support to the test, failure analysis, and qualification teams.Applications :* automotive : safety (braking, airbag), g-sensors, engine control, alternator regulators, power management, networks (LIN, CAN), battery monitoring for electrical cars,...* consumer : RF transmitter for automatic insulin pumpSeveral custom products for the major car suppliers and several standard products.Some examples of achievements I've been involved in, below (with official links) :

Design of a variety of blocks around a PCI interface (IP), part of a complex ASIC.FPGA prototyping of the full ASIC.Applications: Digital Set-Top-Box (with Digital Video Recorder on a Hard Disk Drive)

First contact with the design : modelization of an UART function to become an IP, quickly usable in any applications requiring a such function.
