MICROWIND is PC based software dedicated to the training in sub-micron CMOS VLSI design. The software firstly consists in a HDL-based schematic editor with on-line logic simulator, featuring accurate timing analysis and current consumption prediction. Secondly, the package includes a layout editor with HDL-synthesis and on-line analog simulation, configurable to any sub-micron CMOS technology. This tool has been successfully used in many student projects within several universities and training centers around the world.

      The author of the software, Prof. Etienne Sicard has been in Training field from last plenty of years and is currently a Professor at INSA of Toulouse and therefore has taken special considerations for features for training purposes while making tool.

      "I am dedicating the tool for training purposes keeping in view the problems I had faced while making presentations on layout and ASIC designs." Prof. Etienne Sicard.

      John UYEMURA, professor at Atlanta University, USA, has written a book on CMOS circuit design with extensive use of Microwind and DSCH software. The book will be published from TATA Mcgraw Hill.

      To benefit the future design engineers and the instructors so that they can get a competitive edge in their careers a special discount is being offered through MWUniversity Program.
