MONROVIA, California – May 12, 2011 --  Tanner EDA, the catalyst for innovation for the design, layout and verification of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs), will give one-day hands-on training on schematic entry, simulation, IC layout, and DRC/ LVS at the Workshop on Affordable Design and Production of Mixed Signal ASICs for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Windisch, Switzerland on May 18^th, 2011. The Workshop, which takes place on May 17^th and 18^th, focuses on taking mixed-signal ASICs from design through to good integrated circuits.

What: Using version 15.11 of the company’s HiPer Silicon full-flow design suite, the hands-on training workshop familiarizes designers with a complete analog/ mixed-signal design flow from schematic capture, circuit simulation, and waveform probing to physical layout and verification and DRC/ LVS. HiPer Silicon v15.11 contains new features and functionality, including:

• S-Edit Additions
• T-Spice Performance Improvements
• W-Edit Enhancements
• L-Edit Productivity Gains
• HiPer DevGen Additions
• HiPer Verify Enhancements

When:  Wednesday, May 18, 2011
