All-Russian Education and Methodology Seminar

on designing analog-digital (mixed-mode) ICs

October 10-14, 2011

Dear colleagues!

By this first circular it is our pleasure to announce the organization of the Seminar, that will be held in Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (State University) (MEPhI) from October 10th to 14th, 2011.

The seminar has been held by NNRI MEPhI, sponsored and participated by the Cadence Design Systems Co (www.cadence.com) and the FAIR-Russia Research Center (FRRC, frrc.itep.ru).

The aim of the Seminar is to acquaint the participants with the methodology of designing mixed-mode (analog-digital) ICs, developed by Cadence, and to conduct practical master classes in order to popularize CAD among the high-tech enterprises of Russian industry. Priority will be rendered to the enterprises of the State Atomic Energy Corporation ROSATOM, implementing large-scale projects, as those at the international FAIR accelerator (www.gsi.de/portrait/fair_e.html).

From the viewpoint of qualification level the Seminar may be split into two sub-events. The first one is destined to overview the advanced means of designing mixed-mode ICs and oriented forward an export (advanced) level of designers. The second one is destined to expound the basic principles, used at IC design, and will be useful for a wide range of novice specialists, desiring to master typical design routes. It will include both a presentation and practical hands-on (in the form of lab works) components.

An important part of the Seminar will consist of the thematic lectures of well-known invited scientists from CERN (Geneva), GSI (Darmstadt), AGH (Krakow), reflecting the last achievements in the fields of implementing and introducing complex ASICs.
