SLiCAP: www.slicap.org is a symbolic linear circuit analysis program written in Python. It is intended to set up and solve design equations for analog circuits. It is used in BSc and MSc courses "Structured Electronic Design" at the TU Delft: https://analog-electronics.tudelft.nl. SLiCAP interfaces with KiCad, NGspice, Jupyter notebooks, LaTeX, Sphinx, and a CSV design database. This presentation shows you how to integrate SLiCAP into your analog-design workflow.
Anton Montagne (Leiden, 1953) received his master's degree in electrical engineering in 1984 at the Delft University of Technology. In 1983, he joined Philips Semiconductors in Nijmegen, where he designed analog integrated circuits for audio and video applications. At Philips, he also set up training courses on analog electronics. In 1986, he cofounded the product development company Product Partners, where he carried out many analog designs in the field of instrumentation. In 1989, together with Catena Microelectronics, Delft University of Technology, and the Institute of Microelectronics in Stuttgart,
he cooperated in the development of an intensive training course, covering many topics of analog information processing. Since 1997, he has worked as an independent consultant, trainer, and designer in the field of analog electronics. Over the past 38 years, he has developed analog electronics for
instrumentation and communication systems for the industry, and carried out many training courses on analog electronics at, amongst others, Catena Microelectronics, Philips Semiconductors, Philips Medical Systems, NXP, Ericsson, Plessey, Texas Instruments, ASML, TNO, Bruco IC design, 3T, Carl Zeiss SMT, TMC, and ASMPT.
Anton Montagne is the inventor and co-inventor of patents in the fields of position sensors, imaging, charge-coupled devices, and high-stability crystal oscillators.
Since 2016, Anton Montagne has been coaching students and giving lectures and masterclasses on "Structured Electronic Design" at the Delft University of Technology.
