Lab description


The purpose of this lab was to get introduced to editing websites and Cadence 6.1 for chip design, layout and simulation.

Part 1


  • The first part of this lab consisted of setting up Cadence to be used through MobaXterm, changing some libraries and adding some default settings.



  • Once set up was finished we were able to start Cadence virtuoso and the following windows were opened.
  • Here we were able to navigate and see the files we had previously added.



  • From here we were able to create a new library, for this lab I created a library and called it Lab_1.
  • The AMI 0.60u C5N process which will be used for this lab was also attached to the library.



  • From here we added a new file to the library we created.
  • And we opened this new file.




  • Then we added components to our new file by using the Component Browser and Add Instance windows.



  • Two 10K resistors were added to the schematic



  • The other components such as a power source and ground were added and they were connected with ours.
  • Some important nodes such as our input (in) and output (out) were labeled.



  • The desing was checked and saved, and the Analago Design Environment was setup for simulation.
  • The simulation was setup for a transient analysis, and signals to be plotted were selected.



  • Lastly the simulation was run and the resulting plot and values cn be seen below.


Part 2


  • For this lab I will be backing up all my projects through google drive since we get unlimited storage with our rebelmail account.
  • Backups will be easy as I will be doing all my work on my computer and uploading to ftp once they are finished.



  • Once I have finished the entire folder will also be uploaded to google drive
