CAD - Lecture Contents

The course CAD is mainly composed of five parts:

• Introduction to the lab environment, CAD background
  (workstations, unix, login,... , why CAD?)
• Tutorial – Cadence Transistor Level Design Tools
  (schematic capture, analog simulation, transistor level layout, parasitic element extraction, DRC/LVS check, semiautomated layout)
• Tutorial – Digital & Chip Design Tools
  (HDL code, logic simulation, circuit synthesis, layout synthesis, full chip parasitics extraction, backannotation, verification)
• Tutorial – Analog Circuit Design Tools
