Analogue IC design within EUROCHIP

The UK's own very successful ECAD Initiative (Electronics CAD) is now of several years standing and has made general CAD tools and IC design available to some 100 participating HE and FE institutions. This UK scheme, funded on a start-up basis by the (then) UGC (for the universities) and NAB (for the polytechnics and colleges), and with chip fabrication currently subsidised by the DTI, may in some senses be viewed as having provided a model for the more recent European venture, EUROCHIP, which is described in this paper.<
