Aug 1997 - Dec 2000
- Object manager during the development of an I/O ASIC named COCOS. The number of design engineers varied between 3 and 9. The work included planning, specification and reviews as well as VHDL design of some blocks in the ASIC. To speed up the verification of the ASIC, a prototype board with a Virtex FPGA and a CPU was designed. - Responsible for ASIC synthesis methodologies and the Actel tool suite at Saab Ericsson Space. - Designed and verified the mass memory for the satellite platform PROTEUS. The design phase included PCB schematic entry and FPGA design using VHDL. The FPGA design was verified by simulation and the PCB was verified in the lab. - Designed and verified the FPGAs for the mass memory in the deep space probe ROSETTA. The FPGAs were designed using VHDL and verified by simulation. Show less
