Microwind 3.5 is a professional software used primarily for CMOS layout design and simulation in academic and industrial settings. Status of "Full Version" Download
Microwind is widely recognized in the field of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) design. Unlike complex industrial tools that require extensive training, Microwind offers a user-friendly interface that visualizes how transistors and logic gates are built on a silicon wafer. Version 3.5 introduced several refinements in process technology support, allowing users to experiment with sub-micron and deep-sub-micron technologies ranging from 90nm down to 45nm and beyond.

One of the standout technical features of the 3.5 series is its support for the BSIM4 MOSFET model. This is crucial for accurate simulation of deep sub-micron technologies. It allows for precise modeling of leakage currents, threshold voltage variations, and quantum effects—phenomena that are critical in modern chip design. Microwind 3

Hello Guest !
We wanted to let you know about a new resource that is now available to all 500Eboard members. This is a comprehensive database of all US-market (and soon to include Canadian-market) 500E and E500 models delivered for the 1992 through 1994 model years.
Data for this resource has been compiled continuously since mid-2003, and much of this information is seeing the light of day for the very first time ever. This new resource will allow you to utilize 500Eboard research and resources to track specific cars, their sale history, documented modifications, and other information that has surfaced over the years.
We are also providing analytics about the cars' production. This means that if you are curious as to how many "Signal Red" cars were produced for the US market with a black interior, specifically in Model Year 1993, you can now easily find this information. You can also find aggregated information -- for example, how many "Black Pearl" cars were imported into the US over the three-year span.
You can always find and enjoy this resource by clicking here (bookmark the site for easy reference!), or by going to the “500Eboard Registry and VIN Database” sub-forum below. You can also find a VIN Database button at the top of your screen, for easy access.
We hope you enjoy this resource. A LOT of blood, sweat and tears over nearly 23 years have gone into its creation.
Cheers,
500Eboard Management
