Dr. Palaksha Setty, CEO and Chief Engineer
Palaksha Setty is the founder of MobilitySemi
and has more than 20 years of hands-on analog IC design and engineering management experience.
From 1992 to 1994, as a design engineer at Crystal Semiconductor (now part of Cirrus Logic),
he pioneered the use of parasitic metal-metal capacitors in self-calibrated, charge-redistribution
Analog-to-Digital Converters. From 1994 to 1998, as a Member of Technical Staff at AT&T/Lucent Bell Labs,
he invented re-configurable high-speed ADCs and designed circuits for HDD read-channels that were shipped in very high volume.
From 1998 to 2000, he served as a consultant to Infineon, where he played a key role in helping Infineon develop
its first ever CMOS HDD read-channel. Dr. Setty has been granted many patents in the area of analog IC design
and has presented papers at prestigious IEEE conferences such as the ISSCC.
He has also served as Treasurer, Vice-Chair, and Chair of the local IEEE Solid-State Circuits chapter.
Palaksha Setty holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University.
At MobilitySemi, he has successfully steered the company to develop a strong customer base for analog design services and IP solutions.
Under his leadrship, Company has developed software and hardware platform products (IPGEN and VLSI Guru)
by forging partnerships with Cadence Design Systems (Connections Membership) and Silterra, Malaysia. These products enable faster analog chip design, verification, and prototyping.
