Corporate profile

 

NanoXplore is a privately owned fabless company based in France. The company was created in 2010 by three veterans of semiconductor industry with long experience in the design, test and debugging of FPGA.

The founders of NanoXplore were amongst the pioneers of custom FPGA based emulation systems and IP macros for embedded FPGA cores. In 2000, they developed the first range of IP macros to provide programmable logic cores for System on Chip (SoC) designs. In 2006 they developed a new family of FPGA devices with 750K four-input LUTs implemented in a 65nm technology.

Based on his team's long standing FPGA development track record, NanoXplore has designed a leading radiation hardened FPGA portolio for aerospace, defense and industrial market.

Management

Olivier Lepape - Co-Founder & CEO

Olivier Lepape is a co-founder of NanoXplore and CEO. Before starting NanoXplore, he was co-founder and Vice President of Hardware Engineering of AboundLogic where he developed the first 750k LUTs FPGA in 65nm in 2009. Before AboundLogic, Olivier was co-founder and Vice President of Engineering of Meta Systems, later acquired by Mentor Graphics where he was in charge of all hardware and software development for ASIC emulator products. Before Meta Systems, Olivier was at Dune Technology, also a logic emulation company where he developed the first proprietary FPGA architecture based on hierarchical switching networks, as well as place & route algorithms. Olivier started his career at Matra Data Systems, then moved to ES2 (a European ASIC foundry) where he was a custom IC designer. Olivier graduated from Supelec and holds an MSEE from Stanford University (CA). He is co-inventor of 22 patents focused on emulation systems and reprogrammable logic.

Damien Dupuis - Software Team Leader

Damien Dupuis is the Software Team leader at NanoXplore.  He has 15 years of experience in EDA software C++ development. For the past 10 years, he has worked in the FPGA domain as a developper specialized in graphical interface creation using Qt and Python wrapper over C++. Before working in the FPGA domain, he was a research engineer at the LIP6 institute where he was involved in the development of the academic VLSI set of tools Coriolis, for mixed analog and digital ASIC design. Damien graduated his PhD degree in electronics from the University Pierre et Marie Curie in 2009.

Remy Escassut - Head of Software Engineering

Rémy Escassut is Head of Software Engineering at NanoXplore. He is an industry veteran with 25 years of experience in EDA software. Rémy is inventor of the powerful concept of generic collections which is the base of all its works. He is a specialist of high speed graphical interface and compliant GUIs. Before starting NanoXplore, he was engineer of AboundLogic (formerly M2000) in charge of the conception, the development, the new technologies adaptations and the support of the proprietary physical design tool. Before AboundLogic he was engineer of SILVACO, where he evaluate the OpenAccess database and develop an extendible data structure. He was, at the end, in charge to prototype a standard cell placer and router based on this proprietary framework. Before Silvaco he was engineer of BULL where he was in charge of the development (in lisp and C++) of the proprietary floorplanning and routing tool. He collaborates with the Lip6 to provide them the hierarchical data structure (Hurricane) that is the base over which the Lip6 Tsunami package is founded. Rémy graduated from the University of Montpellier in 1988.

Jean Barbier- Co-Founder & CTO

Jean Barbier is a co-founder of NanoXplore and CTO.
Before starting NanoXplore, he was co-founder of AboundLogic/M2000 where he worked on the first 750k LUTs FPGA in 65nm in 2009. Before AboundLogic, Jean was co-founder of Meta Systems, later acquired by Mentor Graphics where he was in charge of system & boards hardware and early software development for ASIC emulator products. Before Meta Systems, Jean was at Dune Technology, also a logic emulation company where he co-developed the first proprietary FPGA architecture based on hierarchical switching networks, and GUI for Mapping. Jean started his career at MBC-Alcyane, later part of Matra Data Systems developping micro then mini computers. Jean graduated from University Pierre et Marie Curie - Paris VI in 1980. He is co-inventor of 18 patents focused on emulation systems and reprogrammable logic. 

 

Philippe Piquet - Co-Founder and Head of Hardware Engineering

Philippe Piquet is co-founder of NanoXplore and Head of Hardware Engineering. Before starting NanoXplore, he was at AboundLogic where he was in charge of embedded FPGA Core development using different technology nodes, ranging from 130nm to 45nm. He headed the custom design group in charge of a 750K LUTs FPGA core. Before AboundLogic, Philippe worked at GlobespanVirata where he was in charge of custom SRAM design and backend for a 10 processor chip dedicated to the telecom market. Before that, Philippe was a full custom IC designer at Temic. Philippe started his career at Sicon (Linköping, Sweden) and then moved to Carlstedt Elektronik (Gothenburg, Sweden) where he worked on an advanced ALU and other complex logic modules. Philippe graduated from INSAT and from the University of Toulouse in 1989. Philippe is co-inventor of various patents focused on reprogrammable logic structures.
