Original Kurzfassung:
During this presentation, we will examine the driving factors behind the growing popularity of open-source integrated circuit (IC) design tools. Additionally, we will explore the current state of these tools and the recently introduced open-source process design kits, with a specific emphasis on analog, mixed-signal, and radio frequency (RF) applications. We will present a meticulously selected collection of electronic design automation (EDA) tools and discuss their utilization in a mixed-signal circuit design flow. Furthermore, we will highlight recent advancements that have been made possible through the collaborative nature of open-source projects. Lastly, we will encourage collaborative efforts and discuss areas in which contributions to these projects are needed.
