Dear Hiring Manager of National Semiconductor:
 
   I am writing for the internship position for Test Engineer (Job ID 6033325). I am available immediately, and have the required qualifications stated for the position. 1. Digital Design, 2.CMOS Technology, 3.Design Verification, 4. Verilog Simulation.
 
I used Verilog for my Component and Digital Design class (CS 150), and earned the maximum project scores. I was able to use the Xilinx FPGA board to design various verilog circuits. One of the FPGA functions involve receiving data from the Ethernet, and output the data to the AC97 Audio Chip and a text-based LCD with a Hitachi chip. In the projects, we used Xilinx Vertex 2000-E board, Xilinx Project Navigator, Synplicity Synplify (Synthesis), Modelsim (Simulation), and ChipScope (On-board debugging).
 
In the Design IC Design class (EE 141), I used Cadence tools for a SRAM Memory Controller Circuit Design and Layout. The design was down from the sizing of individual MOSFETs to integration of individual controller circuits. The testing of the SRAM Memory Controller was done exclusively in HSPICE. Besides, I have additional experience with Assembly language programming (MIPS), and some knowledge about architectural difference between X86 and PowerPC memory allocation systems.
 
As a regular Mac user, I am familiar with UNIX commands and writing shell scripts for batch operations. I have programmed web-based applications with PHP, which is very similar to Perl. Besides, my Electrical Engineering classes prepared me with strong CMOS background. 
 
I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
 
Yours Sincerely,
Bill Hung
