Chipmunk CAD (Oct 1998 Revision) -------- --- --- ---- -------- This directory contains a revised public beta-test version of the Caltech electronic CAD distribution. This distribution contains tools for schematic capture, netlist creation, and analog and digital simulation (log), IC mask layout, extraction, and DRC (wol), simple chip compilation (wolcomp), MOSIS fabrication request generation (mosis), netlist comparison (netcmp), data plotting (view) and postscript graphics editing (until). These tools were used exclusively for the design and test of all the integrated circuits described in Carver Mead's book "Analog VLSI and Neural Systems". Until was used as the primary tool for figure creation for the book. The directory also contains an example of an analog VLSI chip that was designed and fabricated with these tools, and an example of an Actel field-programmable gate array design that was simulated and converted to Actel format with these tools (example). These tools were originally written for HP 200 Series ("Chipmunk") computers, and were later ported to Unix and the X Windows System. WWW: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro/chipmunk/
