The course lab OJD5419 has been upgraded with new instruments and a new way to control those instruments from computers with Python scripts in fall 2024. The new setup has first been used in course IN5180 and there is a github directory in the cloud with a brief tutorial and some useful Python scripts here: https://github.com/paalgh/IN5180_LabSetup

(This is the version for Spring 2025. If you access this later, the information might be outdated!)

In this course's lab tasks you¡¯ll use a professional ASIC design tool to conduct simulations of circuits with a high level of detail, much more detail than the simple models used in the course book. The program runs under Linux and it will be set up to simulate circuits implemented in a 65nm CMOS technology.

Important: please always close Cadence if you are not using it and before logging out! We do have only a limited number of licences and if you leave Cadence running the licence might not be returned to the licence server correctly for someone else to use.
