Jim Lear - Legerity

Reuse and Collaboration Opportunities in AMS Design and Verification - pdf

Jim Lear, in addition to his digital design duties, has lead the development of the mixed-signal verification methodologies for the past seven years at Legerity, Inc. He has developed easy to use dynamic frequency domain modeling techniques for discrete-time simulations, modular signal-analysis testbenches, and modeling techniques for discrete-analog devices (e.g. resistors and capacitors) and I/O impedances in logic-simulators.  He has authored and co-authored several papers on mixed-signal verification, including a DesignCon Best Paper, and DesignCon East Best Paper Finalist in functional verification.  Prior to Legerity, Jim was a digital designer for DEC, Centaur Technology, and Motorola.
