PROFILE :
A motivated analog designer (working on transistor level, cadence environement), having the experience
to work in driver for power transistors, ADC and High frequencies PLL. Strong experience in design
and Layout and chips Test benches. 4 operating chips fabricated and Tested CEA-LETI, Grenoble.
Having also the potential to suggest projects and working on it.
EMPLOYEMENT HISTORY :
-Personal current research :
1) Circuit + System level idea for a DC/DC current mode boost converter. (better effiency, better cost
and temperature stability)
2) Noise free DC to DC inverting voltage converter (charge pump) using normally on transistors (this
product would help any company interested in this subject to open up a start up)
June 2014- October 2014 : Analog IC-Designer, Freescale Semi conductor ,Toulouse - France
Verification of linear regulators.
Design of a charge pump generating negative voltage.
(vision to generate negative voltage equals to the CP supply without using Level Shifter)
Evaluation of electrical simulator tool detecting the floating nodes.
3) November 2013- April 2014: Analog IC-Designer, LIP6, Paris-France
Design of a DC/DC buck converter. Starting by modeling the system level in MATLAB/SIMULINK.
A macro Model using Cadence is done setting the specifications for each Analog bloc. Design of the
analog blocs has been done.
Techno : AMS 0.35 HV.
4) May 2012- October 2013 : Analog IC-Designer, CEA-LETI, Grenoble-France
Driver for power transistors, design of DRIVER analog circuit blocs. Design of Oscillateur, Bande
Gap, programmable comparateur, Galvanique decoder, buffer and Temperature detector (Test Bench
after fabrication + fonctional circuit after TEST).
2. Techno : AMS 0.35 HV – HOTMOS Fraunhofer 1 μm (Techno Haute Température) - HOTMOS
Fraunhofer 0.35 μm (Techno High Temperature).
New ideas for a charge pump and a driver for power transistor with the minimum possible integrated
circuits.
Trials to evaluate high temperature technology by designing an oscillator of hundreds of MHz with
stable performance within Temperature (0° C to 250° C).
5) October 2011-April 2012 : Research Engineer for CAD and analog design, LIP6, Paris –France
Optimizer for automatic sizing of analog circuits. Using CHAMS tools ( possessed by LIP6), we can
compute the transistors widths given the lengths and the currents of transistors as input parameters
and through ELDO we can extract the circuits performances. The optimizer uses an intelligent
global search followed by a Simplex of type Nelder-Mead. The optimization loop is tested by a
MILLER amplifier having linear specifications (Gain, Unity gain frequency…) and non linear (input
noise@ 1 Hz, input noise @ unity gain frequency ….) in collaboration with CEA DAM. (journal
article under review).
6) 2009: Designer for Σ-Δ modulator for PLL high frequency application (SATA)
Project supported by Si-Ware Systems, SWS Egypt. My work concerned the design of the bloc Σ-
Δ. The bloc Σ-Δ is of 3rd order, realised with a single loop topology to reduce spurs at low frequency
taking into account the stability problem. The used simulation tools: MATLAB, Modelsim and
Cadence.
