Laboratory assignments

• Help from students and teaching assistants on common problems with CAD software.
• Lab project one — Introduction to Cadence tools, inverter design.
• Lab project two — MOSFET characterization.
• Lab project three — Why CMOS is an inverting logic. Low-energy design.
• Lab project four — Elmore delay. Driving large capacitive loads.
• Final project — Sequential logic, performance, and power consumption.
• Mr. Bild's hierarchy tutorial — Describes the creation of hierarchical components for use in schematic entry. This one is good for printing and walks you through step by step.
• Mr. Kim's hierarchy tutorial — Describes the creation of hierarchical components for use in schematic entry. This one gets right to the point, but has less detail.
