Lead the hardware design for the Spinal Cord Stimulation external programmer from
conception to production. The battery operated handheld device used a proprietary 8086
based processor which included an on board telemetry demodulation. The device
included a Xilinx Coolrunner CPLD for decoding circuits and operated under a low power
sleep mode of less than 80 microamp. Lead the CSP (BGA) design for the processor,
performed design verification tests, written test reports and procedures, lead the testing
for FDA approval, spear headed the transition from R and D to production, and maintained
support through qualification and production
Lead the hardware design for the first and second generation of Spinal Cord Stimulation
external trial stimulator from conception to production. This battery operated patient trial
device used the same proprietary processor. It operated in conjunction with two additional
proprietary ICs designed to produce the output stimulation. This device contained COB
technology and was designed to operate under a low power sleep mode of less than 80
microamp. Performed design verification tests, written test reports and procedures, lead
the testing for FDA approval, spear headed the transition from R and D to production, and
maintained support through qualification and production
Designed development boards for the external program for hardware and software design
verification
The success of the program gave way to a promotion from senior to principal engineer.
Some C programming and VHDL.
