X4 buffer


As the load capacitance increases, the delay for the inverter gets larger as seen above.

Create schematics and symbols for an 8-bit input/output array of: NAND, NOR, AND, inverter, and OR gates.

X8 inverter

X8 NAND

X8 AND

X8 OR

X8 NOR

DEMUX/MUX (and the symbol).
Simulate the operation of this circuit using Spectre and explain how it works.
Make sure to show, using simulations, how the circuit can be used for both multiplexing and de-multiplexing.

MUX

DEMUX

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).
Use simulations to verify the operation of your design.

Finally, draft the schematic of the full-adder seen in Fig. 12.20 using 6u/0.6u devices (both PMOS and NMOS).
Create an adder symbol for this circuit (see the symbol used in lab6).
Use this symbol to draft an 8-bit adder schematic and symbol.
For how to label the bus so the carry out of one full-adder goes to the carry in of another full-adder review the ring oscillator schematic discussed in Cadence Tutorial 5.
Simulate the operation of your 8-bit adder.

Lay out this 8-bit adder cell (*note* that this is the only layout required in this lab).
Show that your layout DRCs and LVSs correctly.
