This semester, we will discontinue the use of the Micromagic tool set, and
use uniquely tools from Cadence. The Cadence tools are definitely more
suited for the state-of-the-art technologies of today. For more information
about setting up and running Cadence on the instructional machines, see: http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/usr/pub/cadence.help
The SPICE homepage
contains on-line versions of the SPICE manuals and user guides. Information on the
different versions of SPICE that are available on the instructional machines and
where they can be found, is available on the following web-page: http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/usr/pub/hspice.help
An online PDF version of the HSPICE manual can be found here
(access restricted to instructional accounts), but beware that this is a 10MB file and contains over 1700 pages! Printed manuals will be available in the 353 lab
shortly. For more info on how to run HSPICE, check with the department's
help pages.
