Corner Simulations

  • Begin by starting Cadence and creating a new layout cell view for the inductor. It is important that each inductor be given its own cell view because we will later be generating a time-domain model for use in future Cadence simulations and this model will be specific to a particular layout.
  • Once you have created the new layout view, click on Options->Display and change the X Snap Spacing and the Y Snap Spacing to the minimum spacing required by your fabrication process.
  • You must first instantiate ports at both the input and output of the LNA (analogLib -> Sources -> Independent -> port).
  • Edit the properties of the input port
    • Set the Resistance to 50 Ω and the Port number to 1.
    • Set the Source type to dc.
  • Edit the properties of the output port
    • Set the Resistance to 50 Ω and set the Port number to 2.
    • Set the Source type to dc.
