It’s the NVIDIA ruler. And, as many NVIDIANs have learned, taking this modest slab of PCB board to the right place — and showing it to the right people — gets an immediate reaction. Each time the ruler appears at NVIDIA’s internal company store — which has sold 5,000 of these rulers so far — it sells out in minutes.
John teamed up with Andy, a veteran systems engineer, who designed the schematic for the ruler using some of the same electronic design tools used to build NVIDIA’s other products, and Oscar, who did the ruler’s layout. What makes the NVIDIA ruler unique, the pair explains, is that unlike other rules that reference the most widely used parts, the NVIDIA ruler shows the parts engineers at NVIDIA most often use to put together the company’s products.
