Open to both Undergraduate and Graduate Students

• The goal of this challenge is to design an integrated circuit by using the greatest number of components picked from the provided list (no other components should be used except the ones in the provided list).  

• The circuit does not have to be original and/or optimized, although a proper functionality is expected (e.g. an amplifier has to amplify,  an oscillator has to oscillate, etc…)

• Beside the number of components used, the evaluation committee will judge the rationale of the solution proposed and the circuit characterization (i.e. simulation provided).

• The circuit can be implemented in any regular CMOS technology available to you. (Please state the technology adopted in your the submission and how this affected your design)

The ISSCC 2023 Code-a-Chip Travel Grant Award was created to (1) promote reproducible chip design using open-source tools and notebook-driven design flows and (2) enable up-and-coming talents as well as seasoned open source enthusiasts to travel to the Conference and interact with the leading-edge chip design community. This program is made possible by a donation from the CHIPS Alliance, a non-profit organization hosted by The Linux Foundation.

The IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society is pleased to announce its second open-source integrated circuit (IC) design contest under the umbrella of its PICO Program (Platform for IC Design Outreach). While this contest is open to any individual or team, we especially encourage the participation of pre-college students, undergraduates, and geographical regions that are underrepresented within the IC design community.
