 +======Physiologist's Friend Chip design======
 +The [[http://www.ini.uzh.ch/~tobi/friend|Physiologist's Friend Chip]] is a tool for educators and physiologists that electronically models the early visual system. This page holds the design of the friend23 chip, which is the most recent design dated 2001.

 +Layout of the Friend23 design. Die size is 2.2x2.2 mm and the photodiode sizes are about 163um wide and 190um high.
 +=====Downloads=====
 +  * {{physiofriendschematics.pdf|Schematics of friend23}} - dimensions are in lambda with lambda=0.8u.
 +  * {{physiofrienddesign.zip|Archive of design}} - this design was done in [[http://www.tanner.com/eda|Tanner tools]] and fabricated in the 1.6um AMIS process from [[http://www.mosis.com|MOSIS]].

 +
 +=====Credits=====
 +The PhysioFriend chip was designed by members of the Inst. of Neuroinformatics, including Elissabetta Chicca, Simon Bovet, Tobi Delbruck, Shih-Chii Liu, Giacomo Indiveri, and others.
