Cadence Academic Workshop Outline

Custom IC Design Using the Virtuoso Platform
The course will cover the full design flow with Cadence Design Systems Virtuoso platform staring form Schematic capture, building simulation testbenches and running simulations with Analog Design Environment and Spectre simulator all the way to constraint and connectivity driven layout design and layout signoff verification.  Basics of mixed signal simulation with AMS Designer and parasitic extraction with Quantus QRC will also be introduced. The course emphasis is on hands on lab work.
