Ichiro Fujimori

Ichiro Fujimori from the Broadcom Corporation, in Irvine, California was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2014 for contributions to oversampled data converters and gigabit wireline transceivers.[1]

Education and career

After graduation from the Higashi Katsushika Chiba Prefectural High School in 1981, Ichiro Fujimori received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Tokyo University of Science, in 1985. He has also received the Doctor of Engineering degree from the University of Hiroshima, in 2003. In 2023, he was appointed Visiting Professor at Kobe University.

In 1985, he joined Asahi-Kasei Microsystems, Japan, and was engaged in the design and development of high-resolution Delta-Sigma data converters for digital-audio and xDSL applications. His pioneering work includes the industry first Delta-Sigma DAC for portable audio achieving 90-dB dynamic range at 1.5-V operation, and the first Delta-Sigma ADC for professional audio exceeding 123-dB dynamic range.

In 2000, he joined Newport Communications (later acquired by Broadcom). As the Manager of Mixed-Signal Engineering, he led the team to the development of the first CMOS transceiver LSIs for SONET OC-192 applications.

He is currently the VP of R&D at Broadcom Corporation, Irvine, CA. He has been responsible for the development of multi gigabit-rate SerDes for networking, transceivers for optical communications, Ethernet copper PHYs, PLLs, and power management circuits, all in CMOS. Most recently, he has been engaged in the development of Mixed-Signal Custom ASICs for Mobile and Satellite applications.

Dr. Fujimori was the recipient of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits Best Paper Award in 2000 for his paper entitled "A Multi-bit Delta-Sigma Audio DAC with 120-dB Dynamic Range." He has published 40 technical articles including 11 ISSCC papers, and has conducted various Seminars, Invited talks, and Panels in the field of Data Converters and Wireline Communications. He has served on the Technical Program Committee of the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) and the Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits Conference. Also, served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits. He is currently an AdCom "Member-at-Large" at the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society, as well as the Executive Committee member for the Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits Conference. He holds 35 U.S. Patents.
