Ian's Guides

Introduction

Hello! My name is Ian, and I am a third-year Electrical Engineering major here at Clemson. This will be my first year working with the Clemson Cadence Project. I will be using this space to share my processes and tips on a variety of Cadence learning modules as I go through them. If you ever need an opinion on anything (Cadence-related or otherwise), shoot me an email at iscogin@clemson.edu and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible! 

Stay tuned for more!

In the process of making a video series detailing my methods for the lab activities in this course. The intent is for these videos to be used as complementary materials to the existing Cadence lab guide or other student-written resources. For more text-based guides, navigate up to "By Students" in the top bar.

Introduction & Module 2

Not too much to say for this part. Most of this was spent configuring system settings and becoming familiar with bits and pieces of the user environment. I was still setting up audio recording at this point, so sorry if anything sounds odd!

Module 3

This one was also short and sweet. Going into a bit more depth on the customization/settings end, we continue to adjust user environment parameters.

Module 4

Things start to get a bit more substantial at this point. Going through a few different ways of creating / working with libraries in Capture CIS 2022.

Module 5

A relatively short one before we hit the bulk of the course. This shows off some of the basic methods for placing parts and routing wires/nets.

Module 6

From start to finish, creating a project spanning over multiple sheets. This is a base-level overview meant to detail the general workflow, as well as some helpful functions.

Module 7

Editing and managing part properties both internally and externally using a variety of methods.

Module 8

Finishing up this course by managing aspects of hierarchical designs, as well as looking into other helpful features such as DRCs, ISRs, BOMs, etc...
