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

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.

  cadsetup
  virtuoso &

Select the C35B4C0 process when prompted.

Remember that the CIW (common interpreted window) and Library Manager will open up.

Watch the video tutorials for more details.

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 based on the textbook by adding the following lines to the cds.lib file in your directory

/home/alve8438/ece310                    ece310
/home/alve8438/ece310_examples           ece310_examples
