Home Syllabus Readings Tools Hw & Exam Lectures Grades	Analysis and Design of VLSI Analog-Digital Interface Circuits IC776CA (Berkeley EECS247) Spring 2006 - 3 units
	Simulation Tools: We will be using intensive computer simulations in the homework. Matlab is used to design and verify the system performance. The preferred circuit simulators are SPECTRE, HSPICE/AWAVES (from Avanti). Most of the homework sets only require the use of a SPICE simulator, but some require the use of SPECTRE. § MATLAB § Matlab educational sites from University of Maine. § Introduction to Simulink from Purdue University. § HSPICE § SPICE tutorial and tips: Berkeley ICBook. § HSPICE manual (downloadable PDF files) § Running SPICE § List of UNIX workstations for running SPICE § SPECTRE § EECS 247 SPECTRE guide
	UNIX Account:  Anyone enrolled in the class will be able to obtain a temporary EECS instructional account on EE UNIX clusters that has access to the latest version of HSPICE / SPECTRE. Let me know asap if you need an account. Students are also encouraged to use their local resources if possible to avoid networking problems when intensive GUI information data is transmitted. Some students had problems with company firewall before, which prevents them from logging into Berkeley accounts. In such a situation, the only solution is for the student to locate local resources. If you have any questions or problems running HSPICE, contact the course consultant. If there are administrative issues with the instructional clusters, contact root@cory. Information about connecting over the network can be found at http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/connecting.html. It includes information about downloading SSH for free and about using X Windows. You can get help via email to root@cory or call Kevin if you are really stuck (510-643-6141). § Connecting to your temporary account § Instructional Computing WEB site § User's Guide for Instructional Computing § Help on the X Window system
