Who is Chan Lee?

Chan Lee joined Ambarella in 2004 and is vice president of VLSI.

Prior

to Ambarella, Lee was the director of VLSI at Afara Websystems before

it was acquired by Sun Microsystems. He was responsible for managing

the design and verification engineers, and drove and developed several

key design and verification methodologies.

From 1995 to 2000,

Lee worked at Intel as a design manager of Willamette (the

first-generation Pentium 4) and was responsible for managing front-end

(logic design, verification) and back-end (circuit design, layout and

assembly) design. Lee was also responsible for driving and managing

full-chip RTL development and coordination, and methodology development

for the project. After the Willamette tape-out, Lee went on to manage

the silicon debug team and production ramp, which included functional

and structural test writing, fault grading and scan-based ATPG

development and debug. From 1991 to 1994, Lee was a manager and a

technical lead on the P6 (Pentium Pro). The P6 design was proliferated

and reused in the Pentium 2, Pentium 3, Pentium Xeon and Pentium M

family.

Lee began his career as a logic designer on the P6

and was responsible for the front-end design of the chip. During the

project, he was responsible for managing a team of logic, circuit and

mask designers, and for the debug and coordination of the full-chip RTL

development. As a result, Lee became one of the key system debug

experts on P6 following tape-out
