Howto run Cadence testbench examples in ./tools/dfII/samples/artist

HoWei

Hi,

I do not understand how I can run the examples provided by cadence in the path  ./tools/dfII/samples/artist.

Especially I am interested in the pllMMLib testbenches. 

I already found a tutorial on "Noise aware design flow" - but the mentioned wizards are not available.

I am using ic6.1.7.500.1400.

What I would expect from an example testbench is a functional ADE state saved with the testbench, which just can be started right away.

But this is missing and it seems to be a real pain to get this examples running.

As an experienced Agilent ADS user I am really disappointed that I am struggling that much in Cadence to run a simple example.

How can I run the examples ?

And where do I find a straight forward tutorial ?

Thanks !

    The sample libraries in the Virtuoso release aren't really intended to be tutorials - they are examples that have historically been used for various things now and again - some are components with behavioural models, some are sources (such as in rfLib) for wireless standards - but they aren't really intended to be tutorials any more. There are a few tutorials under tools/dfII/samples/tutorials, but in general you should go to support.cadence.com and then under the Resources menu, you can find "Rapid Adoption Kits". There are lots of downloadable workshops on various topics which include a book of instructions plus a database in each case. These are the best place for quick introductions. There's also a video library on the support site (also under resources) for short videos on various topics.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
