Electronics CAD Lab (E220)
|
Usage: CompE560,
CompE565, CompE572, CompE160, CompE575, CompE470
Lab Coordinator: Jay Harris
Students enrolled in VLSI Design, Advanced VLSI
Design, Computer Networks, Microprocessor Design, Advanced Microprocessor Design,
and Digital Systems use the E-220 computer facility.
The laboratory contains 44 SunRay 1 "thin-client" terminals
connected to a Sun Ultra Enterprise 4000 server. Two Cisco 2900XL Ethernet switches
provide switched interconnect between each client and server. Engineering software
available on the server includes Matlab 6 with Simulink, Opnet Modeler, Opnet ITGURU,
Mentor Graphics' EDA Tools, Synopsys Design Tools, Xilinx ISE 5.1, Altera Design tools
and the Agilent Advanced Design System (ADS). Matlab 6, Simulink and its associated
toolboxes are used for mathematical computation, analysis, visualization, and algorithm
development. Opnet Modeler is a network modeling and simulation tool that is used
by students to design network equipment, communication protocols and networked systems.
Students learning how to diagnose application performance problems and analyze changes
to computer and network infrastructure use ITGURU. The Mentor Graphics design suite
of EDA tools includes software for IC design and verification, analog/mixed signal,
custom IC design, high capacity circuit simulation, extraction, physical verification
and manufacturability, physical optimization, place and route, resolution enhancement
technologies, and static timing analysis. The Synopsys Design tools provide software
for IC design synthesis, design planning, physical implementation, extraction, verification
and mask synthesis. Xilinx ISE and the Altera Design Tools are software applications
that allow students to design, synthesize and verify FPGAs. The ADS RF Design Environment
is a software design platform for large-scale RF/mixed signal ICs.
