LAB Report:
-    Examine and simulate the circuit used for inverting a 4-bit word seen below:

   
X4 inverter shown above is comprised of following cells:
(schematic of inverter (6u/0.6 NMOS & PMOS), symbol of inverter, schematic of 4X inverter, symbol of 4X inverter):
      


   
Simulation result:
    -    From the simulation plot, as the load capacitance gets larger, the RC time delay of output gets longer.

   
   
-    Create schematics and symbols for and 8-bit input/output array of: NAND, NOR, AND, INVERTER and OR gates (show simulation using these gates).

-    Examine and simulate the schematic of a 2-to-1 DEMUX/MUX.
Schematic and symbol view is seen below:
   
     
Schematic used for simulation:
     

     
Simulation results: MUX/DEMUX is comprised of pair of transmission gate (TG).
Transmission gate passes signal (bi-directional) when select is high. 
The logic equation given for MUX/DEMUS is Z = A*S + B*Si.
From the simulations, we can see output Z follows corresponding select switch input (S or Si)
When S is high, Z follows A, and when Si is high, Z follows B. 

       
The logic equation for DEMUX can be written as A_D = D_Si * Z_D and B_D = D_S * Z_D (using input from schematic).
When D_Si is high, A_D follow Z_D, and when D_S is high, B_D follow Z_D. 


       
       
-    Create an 8-bit wide word 2-to-1 DEMUX/MUX schematic and symbol.
    -    Include an inverter in your design so the cell only needs one select input, S (the complement, Si, is generated using an inverter).
Schematic and symbol of 8-bit wide word 2-to-1 DEMUX/MUX is shown below:
     
   
    -    Verify the operation of design using simulations.

Simulation plot for 8-bit MUX: out<0> is same as output Z from plot above
(number of different outputs with different capacitive loads)

         
Simulation plot for 8-bit DEMUX: Aout<0> & Bout<0> are same as output A_D & B_D from plot above
(number of different outputs with different capacitive loads)

   
     
     
-    Draft the schematic of the full-adder seen in Fig. 12.20 using 6u/0.6u devices (both PMOS and NMOS).

           
   
    -    Symbol for this circuit is seen below:

   
    -    Use this symbol to draft an 8-bit adder schematic and symbol.
Schematic and symbol for 8-bit adder is seen below
:
       
    -    Simulate this 8-bit adder cell
Schematic for simulation for input A & B of:
A = 00001111
B = 01010101

   
Simulation result (note: dotted lines represent extracted cell, confirms that my layout is working correctly)
A       =00001111      (15)
B       =01010101    (+85)
SUM =01100100    (100)
