About Michael Zwerg

Objective: Work on innovative projects as a Mixed-Signal SoC Integration Lead Designer. Experienced design team lead and single contributor with more than 14 tape-outs in the mixed-signal SoC space (mainly 16 bit microcontroller). I am involved in the whole semiconductor design flow starting from project planning, over product creation to product validation. I have actively worked on: system definition, cost and resource planning, design environment setup, RTL design, schematic entry, design verification (digital, analog, mixed-signal), DFT integration, synthesis, physical design, timing closure, tape-out process, firmware development, silicon bring-up and validation.My specializations include: low power design techniques (clock gating, dynamic frequency and power scaling, multi-voltage islands, multi-Vth libraries and power aware verification), mixed-signal design flow, FRAM and Flash memory technology, system level ESD and fast transient analysis.Tools & Languages: Synopsys, Cadence, Magma, Prime Time, Design Compiler, Mantel, Talus, Ncsim, Encounter RTL Compiler (RC), Encounter Test (ET), Encounter Timing System (ETS), Logical Equivalence Check (LEC), Encounter Conformal (EC), Verilog, VerilogAMS, VHDL, TCL, Perl, C, Assembler, Linux
