Analog Devices 工程师 Preethi Ashwath：从芯片实验室走向 CES 舞台
From Chip Lab to Center Stage
Analog Devices 模拟集成电路设计师 Preethi Ashwath 在 CES 上演示了公司新款耳机，该耳机通过耳道振动追踪使用者的心肺健康。她主要负责设计防止静电放电损坏芯片的 ESD 保护环，并因在关键项目上的表现于 2024 年获得公司 Impact Award。她表示，可听戴设备正从音频播放演变为健康监测平台。

Many engineers are more comfortable working behind the scenes developing technology than speaking to consumers about products. But Preethi Ashwath has learned to take center stage, talking about the “hearable” and wearable devices she has had a hand in developing as an analog integrated circuit designer in the consumer electronics division at Analog Devices of Wilmington, Mass. The IEEE member is one of the few women who work in the specialized field , where about 11 percent are female, according to career platform Zippia . Preethi Ashwath Employer Analog Devices, in Boston Title Integrated circuit designer Member grade Member Alma maters SJB Institute of Technology in Bengaluru, India; University of California, Irvine Ashwath stepped out from behind the scenes last year to meet with attendees at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. She demonstrated Analog’s new earbuds, which track people’s heart and lung health through vibrations in their ear canals. After she demonstrated her ability to explain the technology to consumers in simple terms, Analog selected her to represent the company at other events. She says she has “come to see speaking as part of contributing to the field, rather than something separate from technical work.” She also gives technical talks on various aspects of electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other topics, as well as participates in panel discussions, she says, because they “reach engineers well beyond my immediate team.” Ashwath is an active volunteer with the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society . “Whether through designing semiconductor products, publishing technical articles, reviewing conference papers, or speaking at industry events, I try to contribute to the growth of the engineering community and the advancement of the field,” she says. Discovering circuit design at Intel Ashwath, who grew up in Bengaluru, India, learned about electronics engineering from her high school physics tutor. That introduction led her to take elect
