Anne-Johan Annema

Dr. Annema is co-founder of ChipDesignWorks and is responsible for the strategic direction of the company, the business development and the management of day-to-day operations.

Besides being the director of ChipDesignWorks, Dr. Annema is with the IC-Design group in the department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands. His research activities at that University range from semiconductor physics, analog and mixed-signal electronics, deep-submicron feasibility issues to fundamental issues in circuit design.

Before joining the University of Twente, Anne-Johan Annema worked at Philips Research in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, where he worked on a number of electronics-physics-related projects ranging from low-power low-voltage circuits, fundamental limits on analog circuits in cojunction with process technologies, high-voltage in baseline CMOS, modelling, to feasibility research of future CMOS processes for analog circuits. At Philips Research Dr. Annema worked both in the fields of semiconductor-device physics and in the field of IC-design
