Lecture notes (available on the TA's website)

Primary book: Analog Integrated Circuit Design,
David Johns & Ken Martin , John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1997
Reference book: CMOS Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation, (also available at Amazon.com)
R. Jacob Baker, Harry W. Li and David E. Boyce,IEEE Press, 1998

HSPICE: We will be using HSPICE for simulation pursposes. HSPICE is similar to PSPICE.
- Use "module add hspice" to add HSPICE to path (you need to do this before you can run HSPICE)
  Type man module and/or ask a lab assistant if you have problems with this
- There is 1 Hspice manual is in the IT labs
- To generate output: In general hspice is similar to probe. Replace the ".probe" statement with a ".options post" statement.
- To run: type "hspice input.file > output.file" at unix prompt
- To view output: type "mwaves" at unix prompt. This is similar to probe. Note: is for tr0, tr1 for transient runs, sw0, sw1 for DC sweeps etc.
- Level 3, AMI 1.2u models for HSPICE
- BSIM 3.1, AMI 1.2u models for HPSPICE
- Find the newest models in MOSIS/Venders
- PSPICE models and symbols (available on TA's website)
MAGIC: Both Magic and HSPICE require you to load the appropriate modules. Ask a lab assistant to help you to do this.
- Magic manuals are available at the bookstore, (about $5.00)
  I was recently informed that they are also available on the web at Magic Manual Pages on the Web
- Scalable design MOSIS design rules
- Helpfull hints1, and More Helpfull hints
- MOSIS Pads directory. Use stuffed pad.
- Magic output can be printed in black-and-white using the Flea tool. Flea is in /project/software/magic.old/bin/flea and use the library in /project/software/magic.old/lib. You can make the appropriate changes in the PATH variables in your .cshrc file.
