CDC研究所 Product Lineup

As the first stage, starting in May 2026, we will launch a training course for analog circuit engineers, which will serve as an entry point for edge AI devices. The beginner course is designed for those without any experience or knowledge of LSI design. The "Edge AI Design Academy" aims to cultivate semiconductor and LSI design engineers in response to the rapidly evolving era of edge AI. 1. A cutting-edge training course for absolute beginners in LSI design to realize edge AI devices. 2. Texts written by on-site LSI designers and lectures by industry professionals. 3. Practical training using commercially available EDA tools utilizing the CDC Research Institute cloud. [First Phase] May 2026 Analog LSI Design Course (beginner and intermediate courses are two-week programs) - Beginner Course: Design fundamentals from device operation to charge pumps and operational amplifiers. - Intermediate Course: Semiconductor circuit design with basic ADC/DAC, PLL, and similar scales. - Advanced Course: Off-the-job training with self-submitted projects. Remote participation is available. In preparation for the course launch, we are recruiting participants from companies, organizations, universities, and technical colleges, as well as seeking collaborative partners for joint utilization. We encourage you to use this opportunity as a platform for developing talent and technology for next-generation edge AI device design.
