Notes & Writing

Essays on power systems, product strategy, and semiconductor roadmaps.

Recent writing on PMIC integration decisions, reference designs, and how market structure changes technical roadmaps.

01
RF vs Analog vs Power: What Each Domain Taught Me (and Where the Real Leverage Is)
Reflections from working across RF, analog, and power—and why power increasingly defines system boundaries, scalability, and long-term leverage.
02
What Semiconductor Mergers Actually Do to Product Roadmaps
I started at Qorvo in February 2015.
03
PMIC Integration is Overrated
There’s a narrative in power management right now that feels almost unquestioned:

Winning a Reference Design: Aligning SoC, OEM, and ODM
If you’ve ever chased a “reference design win,” you already know it’s not really about having the best part on paper. Plenty of great components never make it into pro...
