Workshop Intermediate GPL v3

An hands-on session on eSim, an EDA tool developed by FOSSEE, IIT Bombay

Approved

Session Description

This hands-on session introduces participants to eSim, an open-source Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tool developed under the FOSSEE Project at IIT Bombay. The session will provide practical exposure to circuit design, simulation, PCB design workflow, and SPICE-based analysis using eSim. Participants will learn how open-source EDA tools can be effectively used for electronics education, research, and product prototyping. Through guided exercises and live demonstrations, attendees will gain experience in schematic creation, simulation, and design validation, enabling them to integrate eSim into academic and research activities.
