Introduction - Cadence Crash Course #1

[@omarghanimghazal3712]

Please keep the cadence training series updated with new videos and functionalities because you are the best at explaining it.

Gosh! you've great presentation skills. I'm Obsessed. easy to understand every bit of it. cheers mate. incredibly helpful

Wow! I have not done the video series yet, but I am anxious to. I am a system administrator for an ECE Department any you explained in the first video something that took a long time to figure out. I wish I had found this video previously and seen it 15 years ago..... I have since "worked" with (set up for use) PDKs from TSMC, IBM, INTEL (and signed NDAs) for researchers to use, but there as I am not an electrical engineer some things are still not precisely clear since I have not built a circuit. Again, looking forward to watching the video series.

Do you know if FreePDK 45 works with Cadence IC231/SPECTRE231? Thanks!

Thanks Thomas !!!!!

With FreePDK45 in which foundry can we send it?

[@ThomasBooij]

FreePDK45 is a completely fictional process, so there isn't a foundry to which we can send the designs made in this PDK. "Real" PDKs by actual foundries usually require you to sign a very hefty non-disclosure agreement, which means I can't show the PDK in a video here on youtube. However, FreePDK45 is good enough for getting a first grasp of how Cadence works and basic schematic-/layout-based circuit design.

Hello, is there a full set of process libraries for 180nm and 90nm for free download?

[@ThomasBooij]

I'd recommend having a look at GPDK, which is provided by Cadence itself at 45nm, 90nm and 180nm.

thank you great explanation
