VSDOpen2021 Tutorial 3 - Most Exciting - Bandgap Tapeout using Sky130
Now here's a 2-day tutorial which is both for
freshers and professionals
Why freshers? Bandgap IP design is the most basic one, if you want to learn and excel in Analog Design
Why professionals? Non-Analog professionals would love the way the content has been structured, thereby, enabling curious physical designers, STA engineers to see how an IP looks like
This time VSDOpen2021 third tutorial
invites everyone and anyone who wants to learn about analog IP design from scratch and learn from Bandgap expert
Dr. Saroj Rout, Adjunct. Prof. and
Asst. Prof. Santunu Sarangi from Silicon Institute of Technology
Analog Design Experts - Feel free to join to encourage freshers and look at our internship cum workshop model
Overview:
This course will be an in-depth introduction to Bandgap Reference (BGR) design and layout using open-source EDA tools (ngspice & Magic) and
Google’s Skywater 130nm (SKY130) open-source process design kit (PDK). The course will focus on intuitive understanding of the concepts involved in designing a BGR with real-world specifications and complete hands-on practice using the open-source EDA tools. During the 100 min course, the participant will start with the basic principles of BGR circuit, design, simulate and layout a complete industry-grade BGR – all of that in just 100 mins!
Course Curriculum:
Day 1 – BGR Theory and Lab setup
• Why temperature-independent voltage/current references for ICs
• Realization of BGR voltage reference.
• Circuit realization of a self-biased BGR and introduction to PTAT/CTAT current source
Day 2 – BGR Labs and post-layout simulations
• BGR components circuit simulations
• Steps to combine BGR sub-circuits and BGR full design simulation
• Post Layout simulations
• Steps to combine layouts
