Mr. Cheng, CEO and President, has over 20 years of microprocessor architecture / IC design and management experience. He founded 3 Silicon Valley companies including Ubicom, a leading IC design house. He has raised over US$100 million from top tier VCs such as Mayfield, and successfully launched the first fully functional chip, SX28, with US$500K budget in less than 9 months. Subsequently, the Cahners and InStat Group's Electronic Year Book awarded the chip as one of the “Top Ten Processors.”
The other Silicon Valley company that Mr. Cheng helped to found was Advancel Logic, which later spun into Cerent and was acquired by Cisco for US$7 billion. He previously designed Pentium Compatible, SPARC at SUN/Fujitsu, and NS32000 (the 1st 32-bit CPU in the world) at National Semiconductor.
Mr. Cheng currently holds 9 US patents, and was the designer of one of the top ten processors (Ubicom SX28) in 1998 in the Electronics Industry Yearbook. He is also the designer of the best selling (1980s) lowest cost microcontroller (MCU) (4-bit COP).
Mr. Cheng earned his MS in engineering management from Stanford University, MSEE from Cornell University and BSEE and BSCS from University of Wisconsin-Madison.
In addition, Mr. Cheng was the winner of Young Industrialist Awards of Hong Kong 2005.
