- Chipify is an EDA tool for mismatch simulations, parameter sweeping, and yield analysis.
- It automates Monte-Carlo and corner sweeps using Xschem and Ngspice with parallel execution.
- The tool provides a PySide6 desktop GUI, a headless CLI, and a plugin system for customization.
- Prerequisites include Ngspice, Xschem, and IHP-Open-PDK, with recommendation to use the IIC-OSIC-TOOLS container.
- Installation involves cloning the repository, setting up a virtual environment, and installing dependencies.
- User preferences are managed via settings.json, and folder paths for inputs and outputs are configurable.
- An example source follower simulation is included to demonstrate functionality.
- The project is open-source under the Apache License 2.0 and is a work in progress.
