Mr. Christopher Brooks Richardson
Founder/CEO/Principal Engineer
Power Induced Design
I'm a native of Baltimore, Maryland, USA. I studied electronics engineering at Virginia Tech, where I got started in power electronics by working as an undergraduate laboratory assistant at the Center for Power Electronic Systems (CPES). I also worked on the university's hybrid electric vehicle team. From there, I started working at National Semiconductor developing DC-DC control IC's in 2001. While at NSC, I discovered the world of high power LED's, and developed several LED driver IC's. In 2008 I had an opportunity to move to Spain as a Field Applications Engineer. I held several positions at NSC in Europe until the merger with Texas Instruments. While at Texas Instruments I worked or more AC-DC power supply support and design. In 2013 I started my own electronics consulting, business, Power Induced Design. I have several regular clients, and I'm always open to new and interesting consulting or contracting possibilities.
