Gert van der Horn received his MSc degree in Engineering at the Electronic Instrumentation group of the TU Delft, and a PhD degree for integration of calibration circuits with smart sensors and several international publications on that topic. He developed into a versatile circuit designer with an application-minded interest in integrated circuit (IC) development. In 1998, he co-founded SystematIC, an analog and mixed-signal IC design house. He supported IC design projects and IC product developments for a wide range of applications: from low-power sensor readout to high-power switch-mode-power-supply applications. All involved advanced analog and mixed-signal circuit design, and his work resulted in several patents in multiple domains. He continues to support SystematIC at key customer accounts, including those for magnetic and other sensor products.
