Silicon Image-CMD Storage Division

• Sr. PCB Designer

  • Mar 1997 - Jun 2007

  Instrumentally involved in producing first artwork success. Work with engineers and the PCB fabrication house on the stack-up for impedance requirements. Special care and consideration was given to designs with tightly controlled impedance. Length matching of differential pairs and critical clock signals to their corresponding buss involved planning to ensure proper ground return current to maximize signal integrity and maintain proper impedance. Special RF Vias were used to reduce the capacitance to inner layer planes to help maintain impedance where signals switched layers. Assisted with designing for low crosstalk and noise, etch-height to next etch-spacing ratios on sensitive nets. A requirement for EMI included ensuring solid ground plane underneath etches, and adding ground planes and special via array's when necessary. Developed and maintained a library of proven footprints that corresponded with the schematic and used by others in the company. Proficient with Mentor Graphics Expedition layout tool, using Net Classes and Properties for design rules and length matching and delay formulas. Library Manager for component symbols. Complete documentation package for fabrication, assembly and archive. A wide range of boards including SATA and eSATA Storage controller boards, PCI-X (133Mhz) and PCI Express to SATA, eSATA 3Gig HBA's. HDMI Audio/Video, FPGA using Xilinx Virtex family chip with on board DDR2 SDRAM and QDR SRAM. Fibre Channel 2Gig for SCSI RAID Controllers. Show less
