Cadence Setup for ECE 310/311: Microelectronics
Login to the ENGR server ece310.engr.uidaho.edu using X2Go Client. Linux and Mac users can use ssh instead of the X2Go client. They can do this with
ssh -XY [username]@ece310.engr.uidaho.edu
Setting up AMS035 Kit
Create a new folder in your account for the course work
mkdir ece310
Enter the new director
cd ece310
Run cadsetup ams035 and setuppdk ams035 to set up your environment and work directory respectively.
cadsetup ams035 setuppdk ams035
The models for AMS 0.35u are located at /tools.new/examples/pdk/ams035/hspiceS/c35/cmos49.lib.
Starting Cadence
Run cadsetup and virtuoso to start Cadence.
cd ece310 cadsetup virtuoso
Remember that some windows will pop-up behind your Library Manager or Schematic window!
When simulations fail, it's probably a mistake in your schematic or ADE setup, so try and debug on your own before asking for help.
Simulation Models
Simulation models are located in the following directory on the ece310.engr.uidaho.edu server.
/home/vsaxena/analog_design/models/
You can see my example schematics by adding the following lines to your cds.lib
/home/vsaxena/ece515/HW1 HW1 /home/vsaxena/ece515/HW1_180n HW1_180n
