Biography:
Axel Thomsen was born in Hamburg, Germany on 1/16/65. He attended the Polytechnical University of Braunschweig, Germany, from 1984 to 1988. From 1988 to 1992 he attended Georgia Institute of Technology, where he received his Ph. D. in Electrical Engineering in the area of analog IC design. From 1993 to 1995 he was Assistant Professor at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. From 1995 to 2001 he was a design engineer and manager at Cirrus Logic in Austin where he worked on high resolution data-acquisition ICs, ADCs, DACs and amplifiers. He was then a Fellow at Silicon Laboratories, where he has worked on low jitter timing circuits, PLLs, power and isolation ICs and MCUs. He is now a Fellow at Cirrus logic. Occasionally he teaches analog IC design at UT Austin. He holds about 40 patents and has published 20 papers. He is the chair of the Analog Subcommittee at ISSCC.
