Introduction - Cadence Crash Course #1

Let's say you designed your very own circuit. Great options exist for free and commercial programs to find out whether your design works as expected. When you want to bring your design to a chip, however, the stakes are raised signficantly. The simulator you used before won't be sufficient for this task anymore. In this video, we'll discuss how you would go about this with a program called Cadence; a true institution in both academia and industry.
