I have 11 years working in
the ASIC's division at Texas Instruments.  I have done a lot
of ASIC's designs for customers and produced a lot of ASIC
chips. I was working in this field until 15Jun of this year
and now TI is paying for my PhD.   I have posted this before
for you, but I guess you forgot or do not care.

Best Regards,
Chris Carson
