(Includes the CMOS Inverter Design Flow & My Personal Cheat Sheet!)
In this tutorial, we are diving deep into the Differential Amplifier. We’ll take you through the entire process—from setting up the schematic to running the final simulations in Cadence Virtuoso. This is a core skill for any analog IC designer, and I’ve simplified the steps to help you avoid the usual "Virtuoso Fiasco"!
In this video, you will learn:
✅ How to design a robust Differential Amplifier schematic.
✅ Setting up simulation parameters for accurate results.
✅ Tips for optimizing your workflow in Virtuoso.
