SSCS "PICO" Open-Source Design Contest   The IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society is pleased to announce its first open-source integrated circuit design contest under the umbrella of its PICO Program (Platform for IC Design Outreach). While this contest is open to any individual or team in its first year (IEEE SSCS membership is not required, but recommended), we especially encourage the participation of pre-college students, undergraduates, underrepresented minorities, and geographical regions that are underrepresented in the IC design community. The final designs resulting from this contest will be submitted for 130 nm CMOS chip fabrication via Efabless’ chipIgnite program. Posted in #general
