Overview

Mentor Graphics' cordially invites you to attend a FREE, "Hands-on" Calibre Design-to-Silicon Technical Workshop. Learn how to leverage the superior performance and capacity of the Calibre design-to-silicon platform, a comprehensive suite of tools designed to address the complex handoff between design and manufacturing. The platform offers fast and reliable solutions to design rule checking (DRC), design for manufacturing (DFM), full-chip parasitic extraction (xRC), layout vs. schematic (LVS), silicon vs. layout, and electrical rule checking (ERC).

Attend the workshop and see for yourself why Calibre was adopted by industry leaders --Sun, HP, LSI Logic, AMD, and Motorola -- as well as the top foundries: Chartered, TSMC and UMC and fabless companies -- ATI, Lattice, Vitesse, and Broadcom.

Seating is VERY limited to maximize your learning experience, so submit your interest immediately to request your spot.

Who Should Attend
