Cadence Virtuoso: Common Drain Amplifier Simulation: AC, DC & Transient Analysis | VLSI Lab #6

In this Cadence Virtuoso tutorial, we perform the complete simulation and analysis of a Common Drain Amplifier (Source Follower). Step-by-step, we cover AC, DC, and Transient analysis to extract gain, bandwidth, bias points, and time-domain response—essential skills for VLSI and analog IC design. 📈 *What You'll Learn in VLSI Lab #6:* • AC Simulation: Voltage gain, frequency response, and -3dB bandwidth • DC Analysis: Operating point verification and bias conditions • Transient Simulation: Step and sinusoidal input response • Parameter Extraction: Output resistance (Rout) and voltage gain (Av) • Practical Virtuoso tips for efficient simulation setup and plotting 🔗 *Prerequisite:* Watch Part 1 (Schematic & Test Circuit Setup) here:    • Cadence Virtuoso Tutorial : Designing a Co...   ⏱️ *Timestamps:* 00:06 – Launch ADE L Window! 00:26 – Transient Response Setup 00:58 – DC Response Setup 01:40 – AC Response Setup 02:20 – Input-Output Waveforms for Plotting 02:36 – Netlist & Run!!! 02:54 – Transient Simulation: Time-Domain Analysis 04:15 – Gain Calculation 07:40 – AC Simulation: Bandwidth Analysis 08:53 – Converting AC Response from Volts to dB! 10:24 – Bandwidth Calculation – -3dB Point 11:04 – Bandwidth Calculation – How to drop Vertical Lines? 12:22 – Gain-Bandwidth Product Value 🎓 *Complete Your VLSI Lab Training:* ▶️ Full VLSI Lab Series Playlist: Hands-On VLSI Design: Cadence Virtuoso Lab Course    • Hands-On VLSI Design: Cadence Virtuoso Lab...   ▶️ VLSI Design Theory Playlist: VLSI Design Theory: Complete Concepts Course    • VLSI Design Fundamentals : From Transistor...   💬 *Have Questions or Need Help?* Join the Community! 🔔 *Subscribe and enable notifications* so you don't miss Lab #7, where we'll cover Common Source Amplifier --- #CadenceVirtuoso #CommonDrainAmplifier #SimulationTutorial #ACAnalysis #DCAnalysis #TransientAnalysis #SourceFollower #AnalogDesign #VLSI #CircuitDesign #VLSILab #EngineeringTutorial #VLSIDesign_SSG #vtu #bput #ece #engineeringstudent
