		Resume of Monte J. Dalrymple Education: BSEE (with highest honors) 1977, University of California, Berkeley MSEE 1981 (advanced to candidacy 1978) University of California, Berkeley Experience: Systemyde International Corporation 1995-present. Founder of company. Y90: Designer of this high-performance implementation of the Z80/Z180 instruction set. Rabbit 6000: Lead designer of this fifth-generation microprocessor. (CPU enhanced with 32-bit instructions, cycle-steal DMA controller, integrated dynamic RAM controller for the on-chip DRAM. Rabbit 5000: Lead designer of this fourth-generation microprocessor. (CPU enhanced with a true 16-bit bus, flyby DMA controller, 10/100BASE-T, and 802.11 b/g). The 10/100 and WiFi were externally-supplied IP. Y180-S: Designer of this special clone of the Z180 CPU. (Safe-state version for space applications). Rabbit I/O: Designer of this multi-function I/O chip. (Counting, timing, PWM, Quadrature decode). Rabbit 4000: Designer of this third-generation microprocessor. (CPU enhanced to 32 bits internally, optional 16-bit external bus, integrated DMA controller, and 10BASE-T network port). Y8002: Designer of this synthesizable clone of the Zilog Z8002 16-bit microprocessor. Rabbit 3000: Designer of this second-generation microprocessor (Enhanced CPU plus expanded complement of peripherals). Z80-SIO: Designer of this synthesizable version of the Z80-SIO. Rabbit 2000: Designer of this enhanced Z180 microprocessor (CPU plus full complement of peripherals). DMA: Architect and designer of a 32-bit DMA controller for an FPGA vendor. UART: Designer of a 8250/16450 compatible UART for an FPGA vendor. Y180: Designer of this synthesizable clone of the Z180 microprocessor (CPU only). Zilog, Inc. 1978-1995. Held positions as a Design Engineer, Senior Engineer, Staff Engineer, Senior Staff Engineer, Project Leader, Fellow, Director of Architecture, and Senior Technology Fellow. Supervised from one to twenty-five engineers and layout designers at different times, working on these projects: Z89300: Consulting engineer for this family of television controllers. These devices contain an embedded DSP and control all aspects of TV operation. Z87001: Consulting engineer for this single-chip spread-spectrum telephone chip. This device contains an embedded DSP to control all aspects of the telephone operation. Z380: Architect and a designer of this microprocessor, a 16/32 bit upgrade of the original Z80 microprocessor. Z86C93: Designer of the search engine for this Hard Disk controller. The search engine manages the cache on the hard disk controller. Z16C32: Architect and a designer of the IUSC. This 10Mbit/sec serial controller contains an intelligent DMA to manage the data transfer. Z16C35: Architect and designer of the ISCC. This chip joins the Z85C30 SCC with a DMA controller. Z85C80: Designer of this combination of the Z85C30 SCC and a SCSI controller. Z16C30: Architect and a designer of the USC. An advanced 10MBit/sec multi- protocol serial controller. Z85C30: Contributed to the CMOS conversion of this device by an outside design house. Z280: Contributed to the design of this microprocessor. I designed the UART, memory control, cache control, and refresh control, and debugged the execution unit. Z8003: Contributed to the design of this microprocessor. I was primarily responsible for the simulation of the device, using an in-house simulator. Z8015: Verified the logic design of this Memory Management Unit. This predated simulators and was done entirely by hand. Z8530: Designer of this Serial Communications Controller. I designed the device, did most of the layout, wrote the tech manual and the test programs. Skills: Experienced Verilog HDL user. Experienced Synopsys and Synplicity synthesis tool user. Actel and Xilinx FPGA Design tools. C, BASIC and assembly language for Z80/Z180, Z8000 and Rabbit microprocessors. Familiar with most serial protocols, at least at the bit level. Amateur Extra amateur radio license (KR6DC). GMDSS Maintainer commercial radio license (DM00000647). Professional Associations: Senior Member IEEE; Member Phi Beta Kappa, Tau Beta Pi and Eta Kappa Nu. Patents and Publications: 15 U.S. patents granted.
