Pierre is a Senior IC Design Engineer and he has been working in that role for more than 15 years. He has developed significant expertise in:

• Developing the architecture of various module and devices.
• Designing digital Transmitter/Receiver Controllers.
• Creating various filters (FIR, LSL, Adaptive Filters, etc…).
• Creating a DSP instruction decoder.
• Designing various modems (low and high speed (VDSL)) and Echo Canceller’s devices.
• Creating a power-up/power-down sequencer and controller for device with multiple voltages.
• Handling the generation of asynchronous clocks and resets.
• Re-architecting various modules specifically to reduce their power.
• Leading design reviews.
• Developing various state machines.
• Providing design audit services for RTL code and architecture.

Pierre has also worked on analog design (he has designed an analog Phase Lock-Loop and various op-amps) and despite the fact that he is not an analog designer, this expertise allows him to understand the challenges of designing a mixed-mode device.
