In addition, he served as vice president and general manager of the enterprise tools division of Borland International, and as a former professor of computer science at Duke University. Ambric is developing a new type of programmable integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for (IC) platform that will help electronics companies accelerate time-to-market for their products while slashing system development costs. "Jothy Rosenberg brings tremendous value to our product technology and management team," said Howard Bubb, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
