The DIG discussion group has been started to provide an outlet for technical discussions focussion on physical build tools (design and verification), IP creation and device level design issues. We are looking to have discussions about tools in multi-vendor flows rather than single supplier and hold question/solution discussions on the usablity of and design data in the resulting flows rather than on overall impressions of the tools.

In addition to acting as moderator, I will be providing flow and design experience from my career as an independent consultant since 1985 in multi-vendor flows and mixed signal design.
