    Conservative Transient Simulation in Cadence and Matlab Post processing

    Hi All, I have done conservative transient simulation in Cadence after doing ADC. I am trying to post process the output in Matlab using FFT. I have a 10ns period (sampling) but in between periods I have almost 400 points of data in between. This makes it hard to calculate the downsampling...

    Multivibrator Linearity Test using DFT

    Hi Guys, I tested my monostable multivibrator circuit using the shown setup. And I am getting this output for DFT using 1024 samples, square window and from 0 to 10us. Would anyone be able to say how many bits of linearity do I have? Or can anyone tell me how linear my circuit is? Thanks! - AL

    D Flip Flop with Reset

    Hi Guys, I'm trying to use a D Flip Flop with Reset. I've been looking around and saw some things that has a Preset and Clear. Would anyone know a cirucit with just a Reset pin? Aside from the D Q Q' and CLK pins. Thanks, Al

    Monostable multivibrator simulation problem in Cadence Spectre

    Hi Guys, I tried my hands in simulating a simple one shot monostable multivbator in Spectre. I am getting the wrong output for some reason. Is it because the trigger signal is too short? I put it at 1us pulse width. Even when I changed it to 10us, I still don't get the correct output. I tried...

    HFSS parallelogram box for modeling spiral inductors

    Hi All, I am trying a 2 turn spiral inductor and combine it with another 1 turn to make a transformer. I did a layout in Cadence and imported it in HFSS only to find out it is of a "Non-Model" type so I cannot change its properties for 3D EM simulation. My inquiry would be, how do you make the...

    SVDB folder under Cadence run directory

    Hi All, I found that the svdb folder under my Cadence run directory takes an ample amount of space. Could I delete these files and not affect my layout, schematics and symbol files? I am guessing the purpose of theses files are for DRC and LVS. Thanks! Al

    Cadence pc.db file info

    Hi All, Anyone know what is the importance of the Cadence pc.db file inside the layout, schematic and symbol folders? I accidentally deleted them. You know how to restore them? I can still seemingly use the layouts and schematics though. Al

    HFSS Transformer Simulation

    Hi All, I have a problem with my HFSS 12 simulation. I cannot define the ports correctly so I am having erroneous results. Anyone can advise me on the proper way? I am simulating this transformer at 100 GHz. I have what it seems like 4 ports but I only need 2. I am not sure how you go about and...

    Coordinates for Imported HFSS from GDS

    Hi All, I imported a design from Cadence into HFSS using GDS. Now my problem is I cannot see the coordinates of the geometric solid. Can anyone help me with this? I imported a transformer and I needed to add definitions for the silicon dioxide and substrate, which I plan to add in HFSS since...

    65nm TSMC PDK Inductor Finder

    Hi All, Whenever I use TSMC's Inductor Finder it says the Maximum frequency is only 20 GHz. So how does on design say an LNA for example that operates at 60GHz? Thanks, Al

    using rm to remove multiple types of files

    Hi All, I put this line in my .cshrc alias rmlog "find 'pwd' -name '*.log' -print -exec rm -f {} \;" question is how do i add *.txt or *.fileextension for that matter? Thanks, Al
