DESCRIPTION:The Story of the Last Survivor\n\nIn the &quot;Wild West&quot; days of Si
 licon Valley\, IC design was a frontier defined by PhD-level experimentati
 on. Every major player took the foundational SPICE code from Berkeley\, op
 timized it\, and branched off. While those early simulators formed the fou
 ndation of the current EDA industry\, nearly every one of them has long si
 nce vanished and remain only on backup tapes somewhere in the basements of
  Silicon Valley.\n\nExcept for one - LTSpice\n\nThrough a stroke of market
 ing genius\, Linear Technology turned their internal high-performance SPIC
 E engine into a gift for the masses. By bundling it with their entire prod
 uct library and giving it away for free\, LTSpice became the most widely u
 sed circuit simulator on the planet. Yet\, in a strange twist of irony\, i
 t is now least used in the very field for which it was originally built - 
 Integrated Circuit (IC) design.\n\nToday&#39;s IC designers have access to the
  most advanced simulators in the world\, but only when they are assigned t
 o a projects with the budgets to pay for a limited number of licenses ofte
 n more expensive than their annual salaries\, and only authorized to use t
 hose licenses for the project at hand.\n\nJoin us for this seminar as we s
 trip away the &quot;hobbyist&quot; label and show you how to leverage LTSpice as a p
 rofessional IC designer.\n\nWe spend millions on EDA tools to verify our d
 esigns. Use LTSpice to invent them.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee
