EMBRYO: Didactic Module for Designing Integrated Circuits using Mentor Graphics Environment: Full-Custom Layout
نویسندگان
چکیده
A great demand of qualified Integrated Circuits (IC) designers has been observed around the world due to the increasing market of semiconductors, wireless communication and Internet. As a result, engineering schools are obligated to ensure the education of a greater number of new designers. To this goal, professional Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools for microelectronics are preferred rather than using academic CAD tools developed at universities due to represent the actual environment in the industry and design houses. However, these tools are somewhat complex to learn and not very suitable to IC designers training. In this work, new didactic tools for IC designing are presentend using the Mentor Graphics environment.

متن کاملAutomation of IC layout with analog constraints
| A methodology for the automatic synthesis of full-custom IC layout with analog constraints is presented. The methodology guarantees that all performance constraints are met when feasible, or otherwise infeasibil-ity is detected as soon as possible, thus providing a robust and eecient design environment. In the proposed approach, performance speciications are translated into lower level bounds...
متن کاملLow-Power Design Environment for MOSIS
The release of a CMOS low power library by the Infopad group at UC Berkeley gave engineers the ability to develop low power circuits with standard cells in Magic with minimum geometry layouts [1]. We describe a process that translates this low power standard cell library from Magic into the Mentor Graphics (MGC) environment. Using the Design Kit Example (DKE), we describe the steps to build a c...
