Bringup Class

EE194 (Fall 2022): Test Integrated Circuit Chips Designed in Previous Tapeout Classes

This repo will store any miscellaneous files for the course, as well as links to other useful repos/resources.

Logistics

We’ll be able to use the Cory 119 lab. Four PCs will have the PCB CAD tools loaded. There are also 4 VNAs.

We will also have the lab bench in Berkeley Wireless Research Center (BWRC) which presently has the test setup for the Spring 2021 OSCI-bear board.
