What we did before we had EDA -
Schematic capture to wafer fab

If you design today - you may not have a good overview of all the pieces or why we did what we did then and you do what you do now. Good overview of the physical design issues as well as the logical design issues.

The Bipolar designers faced tough design issues long before they cropped up in the CMOS world.

"An Engineer Who Writes"

20+ years Technical and Marketing Content Development - Technical Training - eLearning - ASIC Design Flow Methodologies (RTL to Wafer Verification) - SoC - Project Management - Software/Hardware teams; 20+ years marketing/sales support

These books will be available soon. They are eBooks and will be uploaed to www.Lulu.com. Waiting on ISBN #s and some Mac software for barcodes.

ILT to eLearning Conversion Guide documents the actual conversion process (in PowerPoint Note format) used by an EDA firm. It is a quick look at all the bits and pieces to convert a technical training workshop, instructor-led, to a self-paced, full scale eLearning package supported by a third-party LCMS (Learning Content Management System).

Effective Presentations / Effective Training / Effective Workshops (in PowerPoint Note format) is a one-day seminar with self-study questions embedded that introduces and shows how adult learning theory can be incorporated into [technical] training presentations and workshops, and even presentations.

Introduction to Bit-Slice Design: Controllers and ALUs (in PowerPoint Handout format) is the Controller part of this 2-part work. It supplements and enhancing the Bit-Slice Design: Controllers and ALUs listed on the left of the page. Great if you are teaching Bit-Slice design or a student of this intriquing design family. [The Am2900 family is still with us in Verilog from your IP provider.]

Did you know----

An estimated 109,500 people in the United States will be diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma this year. New cases of leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma account for 8.6 percent of the 1,268,000 new cancer cases diagnosed in the United States in 2001. The total estimated number of blood-related cancers has increased only slightly for each of the past three years. Every five minutes, someone in the United States learns that they have leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma, more than 300 people a day.
