Dr Ford Tamer, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Enterprise Networking Group at Broadcom, has joined the eASIC board of directors

eASIC's management team can draw on Tamer's extensive industry experience, both as an entrepreneur who has led companies to successful acquisitions, and as a top executive in multi-billion-dollar organisations. 'Ford brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to eASIC from having founded and co-founded successful high-tech companies', said Ronnie Vasishta, CEO of eASIC corporation.

'We are very excited to have Ford join our Board of Directors'.

'eASIC will benefit from his strategic business acumen'.

'I look forward to working with Ford on our plan to deliver innovative programmable ASIC solutions, starting with our recently introduced 90nm Nextreme product family'.

Dr Tamer joined Broadcom in June 2002 and is currently Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Enterprise Networking Group.

Previously, from 1998 to 2002 Dr Tamer cofounded and served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Agere, a semiconductor manufacturer, until it was acquired by Lucent Microelectronics.

Following the acquisition, he served as Vice President at Lucent's Agere Systems business unit.

Prior to founding Agere, he was part of the founding executive teams at Dazel Corporation (which was acquired by Hewlett Packard) and at MegaKnowledge (which was acquired by IntelliCorp).

Dr Tamer received an MS and a PhD in engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

'eASIC offers a disruptive technology that allows customers to create their own tailor-made ASICs at a fraction of the cost of FPGAs, and with much faster time to market than traditional cell-based ASICs', said Tamer.

'eASIC provides customers affordable customisation for product differentiation, with no upfront NRE, and with efficient gate density'.
