Flex Logix Names Fan Mo Technical Director Of FPGA CAD Software Development

Embedded FPGA Leader Expands Software Team to Accelerate Customer Growth

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – Nov. 6, 2017 – Flex Logix Technologies, Inc., the leading supplier of embedded FPGA (eFPGA) IP and software, announced today that Fan Mo has joined the company as technical director, FPGA CAD software engineering. Reporting to Flex Logix’s senior VP & co-founder Cheng Wang, Fan will be responsible for the technical and architecture direction for the company’s growing FPGA CAD software team. Fan’s skills and deep experience will help support Flex Logix’s rapidly growing customer base, particularly customers with the largest and most demanding eFPGA applications.

“We are honored to have someone with Fan’s experience and technical depth in large FPGA CAD software join Flex Logix to help drive software technical roadmap and implementations,” said Cheng Wang, senior VP, engineering. “eFPGA is clearly becoming a defacto standard for chip design and we will be able to better support the growing number of customers with a stronger CAD software development team.”

Fan has over a dozen years of technical experience in FPGA and structured ASIC synthesis, placement and routing, starting first with Synplicity then with Synopsys after they acquired Synplicity. He has worked on high-performance place-and-route for many generations of Virtex FPGAs, timing-driven largescale placement algorithms and global routing algorithms, as well as Synthesis. Fan studied at Fudan University in Shanghai for his Bachelors and Masters and completed his PhD work at UC Berkeley, where he studied novel approaches to placement and routing.
