ADK Tutorials
There are many tutorials that will be available for the new ADK.
They will be posted here as well as crosslinked on the main tutorials
page. At this time, here is what tutorials are available:
This is an HTML tutorial that documents the entire SDL flow
from creating schematics for a NAND2 and INV gate, to simulating them in
QuickSim and Accusim, performing full-custom layout and extraction/LVS.
Then these gates are put together for hierarchical design and
layout/extraction/LVS and then to backannotated simulation.
This is an HTML tutorial that documents the cell design rules and gives an
example of designing an AOI22 gate. This will be used to train the summer interns
and is useful for others who want to design their own cells. It could also be a
basis for a general IC cell design tutorial. This tutorial requires the
developer version of the ADK to be fully complete.
The focus of this tutorial is on creating standard cells for
the ADK. For a more general look at full-custom digital design, see the above
tutorial.
This is an HTML tutorial that gives a basic overview of how to use Mach-TA
to do some rise/fall time and delay simulations of extracted SPICE netlists.
