ABOUT MICROWIND
MICROWIND is truly integrated EDA software encompassing IC
designs from concept to completion, enabling chip designers to
design beyond their imagination. MICROWIND integrates
traditionally separated front-end and back-end chip design into an
integrated flow, accelerating the design cycle and reduced design
complexities.
It tightly integrates mixed-signal implementation with digital
implementation, circuit simulation, transistor-level extraction and
verification providing an innovative education initiative to help
individuals to develop the skills needed for design positions in
virtually every domain of IC industry.
