Lab report 5
Designing a symbol from schematic and symbol simulation
Objectives:
The objective of this lab is to.
• Design a symbol of an inverter in Cadence Virtuoso.
• Use the symbol in a sample circuit and perform its simulation.

Apparatus:
• VMware workstation
• CentOS 6.5
• Candence Virtuoso

Procedure:
Step 1: Create the schematic of an inverter.
Step 2: we go to create and then go to cellview click on instance.

Step 3: Add symbol name and Click OK


Step 4: we arrange the pin location.

Then pin location appears.


Step 5: Symbol make

Step 6: after this symbol we go to cell view and click so the circuit will appear and we give input
Vpulse and Vdc and give VDD and gnd.
Test bunch
Go to Properties of Vpulse and give value to Voltage 1 = 0V, Voltage 2 = 5V, Pulse width = 5ns,
Period=10ns, Rise/Fall time = 10ps , VDD=5v and VSS=gnd Analysis Transient Analysis, for time
t=100ns.
Results & Discussion:
Designing an Inverter Symbol
1. Creating the Inverter Schematic: Begin by designing the schematic for an inverter
circuit using Cadence Virtuoso.
2. Generating a Cell View: After creating the schematic, generate a cell view.
3. Assigning Symbol Name: Specify a name for the inverter symbol and confirm your
choice.
4. Defining Pin Names: Label the pins on the symbol according to their positions in the
circuit.
5. Customizing the Symbol: Refine the symbol's appearance by adjusting its shape using
tools like lines and circles. Ensure it matches the original inverter circuit.
6. Verification and Save: Thoroughly check the symbol for accuracy and save it.

Using the Inverter Symbol:


7. Symbol Integration: Incorporate the inverter symbol into another cell view where you
plan to use it.
8. Circuit Simulation: Simulate the circuit to confirm its functionality.

Setting Simulation Parameters


9. Parameter Configuration: Define key parameters for the simulation:
• Input signal (IN): A Vpulse source with specific voltage levels and pulse
characteristics.
• Power supply (VDD): Set to 5V.
• Ground reference (VSS): Set to ground (0V).

Verification and Analysis


10. Performing Transient Analysis: Conduct a transient analysis, setting a specific time
duration (t=100ns).
11. Comparison with Expectations: Verify if the simulated behaviour matches the expected
results. If not, revisit the symbol design and the original schematic to make necessary
adjustments.

Conclusion:
In this lab we study about Inverter and we study how to make inverter Designing symbol
from schematic and symbol simulation. And we take Pmos and Nmos to make inverter. And
then make symbol and testbench and put values and perform lab and give output waveform.
and we learn how to used cadence and how to used different library.
