Welcome
The 2025 Free Silicon Conference (FSiC) will take place in Frankfurt (Oder) on July 02 - 04 2025 (Wednesday to Friday). This event will build on top of the past FSiC editions. The conference will connect experts and enthusiasts who want to build a complete Free and Open Source CAD ecosystem for designing analog and digital integrated circuits. The conference will cover the full spectrum of the design process, from system architecture, to layout and verification. After the daily talks, the discussion will continue until late in an informal and relaxed atmosphere.
As the maximum number of participants has been reached, registration for the conference is closed.
