This page contains information about the Cadence software used Catholic University of Santos, mainly in Electrical Engineering of the Faculty of Electrical and LPCIAD- Laboratory Project of Integrated Circuits Analog and Digital.
Our interest is the continuation of the study and implementation of digital circuits, analog and RF circuits using technology CMOS with CAD/EAD advanced.
The specific objectives are: to disseminate knowledge of CAD/EAD/CADENCE advanced, as well as techniques for integrated circuit design courses: electrical engineering and computer science; conduct work of students in product design of IC’s, perform design work of IC’s with students of scientific initiative and, finally, strengthen the professors of the faculty of the group LPCIAD with publications in conferences and international journals.

Prof. Dr. Luiz Carlos Moreira
• Characterization of design implementation transmitter and receptor circuit for Phased-Array UWB radar operating frequency of 5-10GHz in process 130nm of CMOS technology.
ProF. Dr. Maria Aparecida S. Accioly
• Design and implementation of planar inductor and transformer in CMOS technology.
Prof. MsC. José Fontebasso Neto, Prof.
• Design of pulse generators tunable to operate in the frequency (3.1GHz 10GHz), whose main idea is to implement and characterize a transmitter circuit of the 2nd, 5th and 7th derived for use in UWB systems using the technique of Phase Detector in the range stipulated the FCC-(Federal Communications Commission) regulations.
Prof. MsC. Marcelo Macchi da Silva
• Design of an image sensor to detect motion in CMOS technology, whose main idea is to implement and characterize a circuit motion detector using a matrix of pixels of 64 rows by 64 columns in the process 0.35 um/CMOS-OPTO.
Prof. MsC. Carlos Alberto Sassaki
• Passive elements and methods of design in process CMOS technology to RF circuits and image sensors.
The results and impacts
The impact and results in the LPCIAD using CADENCE software are listed below:
• Design of CMOS circuits in following area: RFIC design and design methodology mainly to UWB-Ultra
WideBand circuits;
• Technical knowledge and manufacturing, primarily of UWB and image sensor circuits can be applied in electronic products for home use in monitoring systems, medical etc;
• Publications in journals and international and national conferences;
• Strengthen and encourage the research group to the area circuits in electrical engineering and the design of integrated circuits, especially in CMOS technology;
• Training of highly qualified personnel for research and development of UWB circuits based on CMOS technology.
