RETURN TO ALL LABS   

Lab Intro – Generating/Posting HTML Lab Reports – Installing and Using Cadence

The first lab will go through the first part of Tutorial 1

Tutorial 1 goes over constructing a voltage divider with Cadence and simulating the outputs.

- To place an instance (meaning a resistor, capacitor, gnd, etc) we can simply use the
key “i” and select our instances from the NCSU_Analog_Parts library

- ALSO using “w” for wires, right click to rotate, “l” like lollipop for naming nodes
“q” for choosing the values of an instance

And YAY we created a voltage divider – level 1!

n To simulate we Launch ADE-L {from the circuit window}

n Verify we’re using spectre under setup > simulator

n Analysis > Choose > Tran > 1s

n Outputs > Select on Schematic > 1

n We modify the thickness of the lines and the background on the output graph

BACKING UP WORK!!!

I’m going to use google drive to back up my lab reports as follows:

(1) Create a “copy” of lab folders

(2) Upload to google drive folder

(3) Stuff is backed up!!!
