Tony Ngai
Founder, CTO & SVP Engineering
After 20 years developing FPGAs for companies such as Altera, Xilinx, Lattice, and AT&T Bell Labs, Tony and Co-Founder Sammy Cheung, set out to build a new, flexible FPGA fabric. With first-hand knowledge of the commercial FPGA architectures currently on the market, Tony knew he wanted to develop a different, more efficient architecture. With more than 40 U.S. and international patents, Tony is a proven programmable-logic innovator with a unique background that combines FPGA architectures, IC design expertise, and PnR software knowledge.
Prior to co-founding Efinix, Tony had more than 15 years of management experience at the top three FPGA companies. He led and contributed to the development of most commercial FPGA architectures available today.
