Seminars

	IEEE ISSCC (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers - International Solid State Circuit Conference) 1981. A speaker of Advanced Circuit Applications session, "A Single-chip Graphics Display ControllerUpdated on 12/11/23". NEC (Nippon Electric Corporation) µPD7220 GDC (Graphics Display Controller), which is one of my masterpieces, was introduced. This product was developed by NEC under technology exchange contract signed between Intel and NEC in 1979. Intel became one of second sourcers.
	Various presentation related to computer graphics has been done by me at multiple seminars. The title of this seminar is "Digital Image Processing Technology & the Realistic Application Technique Updated on 8/26/23". I took part in as an author and a lecturer of Graphics & Image Processing Processor LSI session.
	I acted as a lecturer and mentor of thesis at NEC Core Technology Training titled "Computer Graphics" in 1984 & 1986Updated on 8/30/24.

Data Sheets

	µPD7220A HGDCUpdated on 12/11/23 (Highspeed Graphics Display Controller) µPD72120 AGDCUpdated on 12/11/23 (Advanced Graphics Display Controller) µPD7220 GDC was selected as a Product of the Year by Electronic Products magazine. µPD72120 AGDC was selected as one of Top 100 Products by Electronic Design magazine as well.
	Full functional description of 82C455Updated on 9/6/23 (World's first flat panel / CRT VGA controller developed in 1988) & 82C456Updated on 9/7/23 (Enhanced flat panel / CRT VGA controller developed in 1989) is attached. 82C457 (Color flat panel / CRT VGA controller) was developed with color feature in 1990Updated on 10/2/23 as well. These products were exhibited at Comdex Fall every year and obtained superb reputations. They support various kind of LCD (Liquid Crystal Device), Plasma, and EL (Electro-Luminescence) flat panel interfaces. Arun Johary, application engineer of Chips and Technologies, and I coauthored thesis concerning 82C455 published on Electronic Design magazine.
	Excerpt of the functional specification of MPEG audio decoder (HD814102 : Hitachi version) is attached. The original ASCII version product name is DA7190. The original product was developed by GCA (Graphics Communications America), one of world-wide subsidiaries of ASCII Corporation located in Chicago, Illinois. Due to financial constraint, ASCII terminated GCA and inherited the VLSI development at San Jose, CA. The two products above were developed and manufactured in mass production. The product was one of three working MPEG decoder LSIs in the world in early 1993.

Brochures

µPD7220 GDC and µPD7220A HGDC were introduced on NEC Electron Devices.

My another masterpiece of µPD940 was introduced on NEC annual report of actual result. I designed the entire architecture, logic, and mask layout using P channel metal gate E/D MOS. The die size was 3.80mm x 3.78mm which was the world's smallest single-chip LSI for 8 digit desk-top calculator.
