Lab Description:

   

    The purpose of this lab is to familiarize using Cadence software as well as editing and uploading web pages.

Report should contain:

    Images displaying that one followed the Tutorial 1 steps from CMOSedu with some context
    How one will be backing up the lab material to avoid frustration using zip files and uploading them.

Lab

This first lab will go through the first part of Tutorial 1 seen here.

Following the tutorial will properly setup cadence through mobaX

Once MobaX has been setup properly one initiates Cadence using 'Virtuoso &' command

Following the tutorial 1 steps, one will eventually create a new cell
Using the components guided by the tutorial one will create this schematic

Ideally before simulating the circuit using ADE L, one ought to save their work, only then pick does one run the circuit simulation
One then launches ADE L and executes a tran simulation

Lastly,
labeling and definining what to plot on the simulation from the circuit, in this case 'In and Out' must be done
In this case, the input and output of the circuit was plotted
The resulting waveform is shown below

Habit to avoid frustration! 

Back up your documents, so you can catalogue them and refer to them 25 years from now
