Magic VLSI Examples
This is a collection of simple examples for Magic VLSI from opencircuitdesign.com. All examples are based on Magic VLSI 8.2.27.
Magic VLSI is a open source software for physical chip layout. To my knowledge it is one of only two free and open source softwares of this kind.
I recommend to build Magic VLSI from the latest sources git://opencircuitdesign.com/magic-8.2
