Description
A three day intensive course on mixed-mode design methodology. The aim of this course is to enable designers of integrated circuits:

- to understand the design methodology for complex mixed-mode ASICs
- to gain insight into the design flow as practiced in austriamicrosystems engineering departments.

Documentation provided on the course will greatly assist with the design of ASICs. The examples given are based on 0.35 micron CMOS technology and all design steps can be practiced on workstations.

- Design flow for digital, analog and mixed-mode designs
- High-level design entry using HDL and SpectreHDL
- Front-end design, layout generation, back-annotation and verification
- Interface to test

Contents
Day 1
- Introduction HIT-Kit and Technologies.
- Digital Design Flow and Tutorials Overview.
- Functional Verilog Simulation, Synthesis, Design Checker.
- Gate Level Simulation, Timing Calculation, Test Vector Conversion.
- Digital Standard Cell Place & Route, Back-Annotation.

Day 2
- Analog Design flow & Tutorial Overview.
- Spectre Simulation, Devices & Callback.
- Introduction to SpectreHDL & VerilogA.
- Analog Layout Generation using LayoutXL.
- PCells, DRC, LVS, Parasitic Extraction.
- Post Layout Simulation, GDSII Conversion.

Day 3
- Corner & Monte Carlo Analysis.
- Mixed-Signal Back-Annotation.
- Design Partitioning, Interface Elements, Back-Annotation.
Audience
  • Industrial Design and Project Engineers who plan to design mixed-mode ASICs with our HIT-Kit based on CADENCE software. 
  • Analog Design Engineers who have already designed integrated circuits and want to use austriamicrosystems technologies.
  • Digital Designers who need to integrate some analog functionality in their designs.
  • Mixed-Mode Design Engineers.

Basic knowledge of CADENCE Analog Artist tools is mandatory!
