Early 2007 I started as co-founder with Vector Fabrics, a high-tech start-up in the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) domain.
Before that, I worked for several years in
Philips Research Eindhoven, located at the
high-tech campus.
When NXP was launched out of the former Philips Semiconductors division,
I joined NXP research.
List of my publications
These leave almost no time for the other items :-)
I like to design and create my own audio devices, and do this together with some friends in the neighbourhood that share my passion. Some of my projects are:
The 'relaiXed' preamplifier as published in the Dutch 'Elektor Audio Special', December 2007.
An audio input selector and volume control, to be used as passive pre-amplifier, or (recommended) as building module into an active pre-amplifier or integrated amplifier.
My Audio DAC. It features 4 digital inputs (3 coax, 1 optical), sample rates of 44.1kHz, 96kHz, and 192kHz, and full 24-bit resolution. This is an all-new design, based on experiences with the older DAC design in which I participated.
My single-ended triode (300B) based main amplifier. It has has a DC-coupled signal path from cinch input to the output transformer. This is realised with a stacked (2x 400V DC) power supply. Picture of experimental version, mono, delivering about 12 Watts.
| Furthermore, I cooperate with tentlabs in the design of some of their products, in particular related to the digital processing. |

Unfortunately only during vacation periods I find time for my preference
to really long novels.
Truly enjoyable is: The
Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan, which has many sites
of fans.
