AEL PDK Training Class

Gent, Belgium

Overview

A 3-day in depth class on how to program AEL and develop PDK’s, Process Design Kits in ADS. Starting with an in-depth overview on how to traverse the design database using AEL followed by a step by step development of a PDK including different kind of component models. Finally, the programming of component artwork macros is covered. Technical information is combined with step by step hands-on exercises.

What you will learn

AEL database traversal
PDK development
Building your own components in ADS (subcircuit, S-parameter based, netlist fragment)
Use and creation of fixed artwork and scalable AEL artwork macros.

Who should attend?

ADS System Administrators or Engineers who want a better understanding of the ADS environment and want an in-depth education on how to create design kits and program in AEL.

What you need to know

Familiarity with basic circuit simulation in ADS.
Knowledge about Windows and UNIX operation system as well as familiarity with AEL programming in ADS.

The course is 3 days long and will combine lecture presentations with instructor guided, hands-on lab exercises.

Agenda

Topic 1

AEL database traversal. A hierarchical database retrieval example is developed step by step to extract instance and parameter information as well as shape information. This concept is used in many schematic and layout customization scripts.

Topic 2

A detailed overview on the Design Kit structure using OA, Open Access libraries. A design kit is created with several components like a component using a subcircuit as model or a component with a netlistfragment as model in combination with a netlistinclude component. These components will be made available in a palette and in the library browser.

Topic 3

Developing measured components. A step by step procedure describing how to create measurement data based components. Starting from a set of S-parameter files up to a complete component similar to the ADS build in vendor components. The use of constant, compound forms and formsets will be explained to make discrete optimization possible.

Topic 4

Explains how to setup a layout technology library. A fixed layout artwork is designed and associated with a component. Next a parameterized AEL artwork macro is programmed with particular focus on the new AEL artwork functions available since ADS2011. This artwork will include edge or area port functionality. This AEL artwork macro will be associated to a component and integrated it in the previous created design kit.
