As a result, this thesis serves as an introduction to SerDes for beginners as well as a tutorial of mixed-signal integrated circuit design, using an example of a Serializer circuit. Designing a robust, lower power SerDes that functions properly at high speed is very challenging and requires knowledge from several different areas. SerDes is very beneficial because it solves the problems of many traditional parallel data links and reduces the number of I/O pins and cost for connectors and cables.

A Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) is such a device that takes the parallel data link input and condenses it into fewer lines of serial stream which would then deserialized and output as the original recovered parallel data. Serial I/O has the advantage of faster speed, less interference between adjacent links, fewer pin counts and thus lower packaging costs. As integrated circuits (IC) become smaller size and faster speed, traditional parallel communication is not suitable due to cross-talk, data-skew, and other problems related to electronic packaging and signal integrity. Schutt-AinГ©Дў ABSTRACT Input/output (I/O) has always played an important part in modern high speed applications.

Errors will appear in the CIW and will be outlined in white in the Virtuoso window.1 HIGH SPEED CMOS SERDES DESIGN AND SIMULATION USING CADENCE VIRTUOSO AND HSPICE BY JERRY YANG THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering in the College of Engineering of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor JosГ© E.

For most cases the DRC form is filled in correctly and you can click вЂњOKвЂќ.

The DRC files provided by NCSU are based off of the MOSIS Scalable Design CMOS rules found on the MOSIS website.

Easier to change from one layer to another.

Draws a metal path based on designers guidance.

There are two ways to draw metal layers in Cadence.

Place the P-Cell in the Virtuoso Window.

In the Create Instance window, fill in the W, L, and other pertinent information.

Select the library (AMI 1.6), the Cell (nmos or pmos), and the View (layout).

This will bring up a вЂњFile ManagerвЂќ type window.

In the Create Instance Window, click browse.

Importing NCSU P-Cells Into Virtuoso Layouts

Can be used with other tools (like Place and Route).

Fastest way to draw a component correctly.

Automatically resize to fit parameters.

Parameterized Cells are flexible layout.

From the Virtuoso you can control all layout functions through icons, вЂњhotkeysвЂќ, and menus.

This window will never close unless you exit Cadence.

It should appear at the right of your screen.

The Layer Selection Window (LSW) is where you select your different drawing layers.

This will change the View Name to layout.

You should see your library in the File Manager.

Select AMI 1.6u ABN from the list on the left.

From the CIW Select: Tools > File Manager.

ItвЂ™s the most powerful window in Cadence!!.

Create or Load most anything in Cadence.

Import/Export submission files to MOSIS.

Wait for the Command Interface Window (CIW) to appear.

Start Cadence by typing вЂњicfbвЂќ at the command prompt.Defines libraries in Cadence File Manager.Analog and Digital Parts for Simulation.
