Cadence Front to Back EndAdil Sarwar March 2004
Presentation Overview • Tool Setup • Virtuoso Schematic Editor (Composer) for design entry • Analog Design Environment (Analog Artist) for netlisting and simulation. • Virtuoso LE for layout • Diva for physical Verification • Mixed-signal simulations / AMS Designer
Tool Setup • Source new cshrc file , IC 5.0 installed • Icfb –W -> to check the version of tool • cds.lib -> file in directory from where you want to run the tool • .cdsinit and .env files for initialization and bindkeys • icms , layoutPlus and icfb
