Inauguration of Short term course on analog IC design using CADENCE analog design flow
Five-Day short term course on analog IC design organized by the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering was inaugurated by Principal, Dr. Umesh M Bhushi. He addressed the students and participants about the importance of short term industry oriented courses and how students can get benefit from these initiatives provided by the department. Dean Academics Dr. J V Gorabal also graced the occasion. Dr. Ashwath Rao, HOD, Dept. of Electronics and Communication Engineering gave an overview of the course and emphasized the importance of the course and job opportunities in the field of analog IC design.
Resource persons Mr. Navin Sankar, Field Application Engineer - Entuple Technologies, Bengaluru and Mr. Sumit Patil Application Engineer - Entuple Technologies, Pune addressed the participants and students. He advised them to use this opportunity provided by the institution.
During the Day One of the Analog IC Design – Short Term Course organized by the Dept. of Electronics & Communication Engineering, the resource persons - Mr. Sumit Patil, Senior Application Engineer and Mr. Navinsankar J, Field Application Engineer from Entuple Technologies Pvt. Ltd, Bengaluru introduced the students to various technologies of VLSI design like 180nm, 90nm, 45nm etc and a brief discussion was held. The procedure involved in obtaining the GPDK file for a particular design was demonstrated. They also explained the various cadence tools like Spectre, Assura & Virtuoso. Students were able to synthesize basic amplifier circuit topologies based on the specifications that were provided to them.
During the Day Two, the resource person gave a detailed description on the important parameters that were to be considered during the designing of power amplifiers and other analog circuits. Students had to solve a problem wherein they had to design an amplifier based on the specifications that were given by the resource person. The analysis was done in three steps. The first step involved parametric analysis of a NMOS, the second involved parametric analysis of a NMOS and a load resistor and the third involved the parametric analysis of a PMOS. Later, the layout constraints and physical verifications for the design of the amplifier were carried out till GDSII.
During the Day Three & Four of the short term course, the resource person explained about the elemental concepts of analog like current mirror, cascade, cascode, differential amplifier and diode connections in a circuit. Various applications of differential amplifier and their design challenges were thoroughly discussed. A 7-pack operational amplifier was designed using parametric analysis on common source circuits. The current mirror helps in replicating the current in one branch to another. There are different designs of current mirrors, which have been demonstrated from the schematic, symbol, test schematic, simulation, layout, AV extraction, GDS extraction and back annotation, thereby showing the difference between ideal circuit and practical circuit.
Signal analysis was also discussed. Small signal analysis of a simple MOS circuit was explained with all the capacitors involved. Different concepts involving capacitor and its specific application such as filtering operation was discussed with the example of low pass filter and high filter using operational amplifier. Following which the next session started with different types of degradation in amplifier circuits and reasons for each and methods to compensate them, these methods are called frequency compensation. RC frequency compensation circuit was compared with a traditional circuit and the difference in the common mode rejection ratio and power supply rejection ratio was noted. Different parameters like phase margin and gain was found and compared with the requirements.
The Day Five started with finding phase shift from obtained phase margin of the RC frequency compensated operational amplifier designed previous day. New concepts like fingers and multiplier which are the attributes of a transistor in GPDK 180nm was discussed and demonstrated. The new technique of obtaining layout called as common centroid layout technique was demonstrated where an optimized way of designing layout of the schematic was shown using the module generator. This technique is used to overcome process variation which occurs due to factors like doping. This technique is mainly used in the analog physical design industry.
The afternoon session was conducted on AMS which stands for analog mixed signals. Here a NAND circuit was done where inverter was implemented in analog and AND gate in digital, Verilog code. Finally, the importance of this method was discussed.
The Five-Day short-term course on Analog IC Design came to an end with the valedictory ceremony. Resource persons - Mr. Sumith and Mr. Naveen from Entuple shared their views and motivated the students to take up the vast field of electronics specifically analog physical design. Dr. Ashwath Rao, HOD of Dept. of Electronics and Communication Engineering addressed the gathering and shared his views on short-term course conducted and asked students to make use of it and practice which can help the students to make a start in VLSI analog physical design as their career. Prof. Praveen Kumar Konda, Dept. of Electronics & Communication Engineering gave a report on the Five day event. Dr. Umesh M Bhushi, Principal motivated the students to make use of various opportunities given. He encouraged students to develop technical skills. Certificates were also distributed to participants.
