Abstract

TACT is an EDA tool that can be very valuable in an educational context since it can help students in electronics and communications acquiring skills that will be fundamental for their careers. TACT is suite of tools the purpose of which is to explore the design space of multi-standard radio transceivers. The use of this tool can ease and speed up the learning process related to the system level design of chipsets suitable for communication applications. The outputs from TACT can easily be combined with available commercial tools in order to provide a complete design flow from system to silicon. This paper highlights the main features that make of TACT a very useful tool in education.
