Cadence tools in our curriculum

Cadence software is being (or has been) used primarily in the following courses:

• ELG 6369, "Nonlinear Microwaves Devices and Effects" is a graduate level course
• ELG 5195, "Digital Logic Design: Principles and Practices" is a graduate level course
• ELG 4132, "Principles and Applications of VLSI Design" is an undergraduate level course

Cadence tools in our research:

Cadence software has been used in some research projects including:

• Digital IC: The design of a hardware-based genetic algorithm, part of an evolvable hardware project
• Custom IC: The design of a predictive floating-point analog-to-digital converter
• SPB (PCB): The design of a low-cost bidirectional human-computer interface chip.
• Verification: Single Electron Transistors (SETs): The research using Cadence at the Cardiovascular Devices Division Lab at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute focuses on bridging the gap between analytical SET models and CMOS-compatible models towards developing a highly sensitive charge sensor that may be integrated with other CMOS elements.
• The Network Computing and Control Technologies Research Laboratory uses Cadence to aid in the design and implementation of FPGA based Face Detection devices and/or ASICS.
• Integrated RF/microwave circuit design: Cadence has been used in RF/microwave circuit design such as filters, low-noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, mixers and oscillators; and in device characterization such as CMOS transistor modeling. Associated integrated layouts have been also generated using Cadence.
• Ultra Wide Band: Cadence was used in the preparation of the PhD thesis of Omid Abedi: Narrow Band Interference Cancellation for UWB Application.
• Carbon Nanotube FET: Cadence is used in the simulation of Carbon Nanotube FETs.
