Tanner Expands Hands-On Training to a Five-Day Workshop

Introductory Course Outline

Tanner EDA offers high-quality training to keep you ahead in the IC design world. Our instructors have extensive designing experience to help bridge the gap between how Tanner Tools work and how they can best work for you. This training course covers the entire HiPer Silicon™ design flow, including S-Edit™ for schematic capture, T-Spice™ for simulation, L-Edit™ for layout, and HiPer Verify™ for verification.

Each day’s class runs from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
