This tutorial will introduce you to the inverter - a fundamental circuit to all CMOS digital circuits. Section 4 will provide an overview of Digital Circuits growing in complexity such as Logic Gates & Registers.

Utilising Cadence this tutorial will provide students:

 

(i)                  the make-up of an inverter circuit,

(ii)                fundamental understanding of how CMOS transistors and digital circuits work,

(iii)               operational simulation – illustrating how to overcome inherent CMOS process issues,

(iv)              building & testing an inverter - fast tracked to readiness for fabrication,

(v)                simulation test results – analysis via automated and manual testing.
