Project designs will be judged by a committee of Synopsys technical staff based on the functionality and efficiency of the design, and on the team’s productivity. Teams selected to compete in the contest will receive a free 3-day training workshop hosted by Synopsys and the chance to win a cash prize.

Contest Scope
:
** Teams will create a complete schematic and DRC/LVS clean layout of a design according to contest specifications using only Synopsys analog mixed-signal tools.
** Teams will be required to use the Synopsys 32/28nm Interoperable Process Design Kit.
** All designs submitted must be original work – designed and drawn by the student teams for this contest. Designs may not have been previously used or directly copied from other sources. This will result in immediate disqualification.

Evaluation Criteria:
Project submissions will be evaluated by the contest committee members and judged based on the following criteria:
** Functionality demonstrated through HSPICE simulations
** Optimal area of layout that is DRC/LVS clean
** Effective use of design productivity features available with the tool flow
** Results that demonstrate close matching of given design specifications through pre-layout and post-layout HSPICE simulations

The decision to accept any contest entry and all judging decisions will be made by the contest committee in its sole discretion and will be final. In the event Synopsys determines that one or more prize winners are ineligible according to the contest rules, Synopsys reserves the option to award no prize, or to award a prize to an alternate contest participant.
