To draw a schematic (a) Insert components Click on on the palette on the right side. The palette is now “ADK IC Library” changed to “ic library” where there are many components. For example, if you wish to insert an NMOS transistor, click on the and “nmos”, place the in the schematic. “nmos” Note: Placed components are automatically selected/highlighted. To unselect, press on “F2”. Components you need in creating an inverter are: nmos, pmos, VDD, GND, In and Out Refer to the following schematic to insert desired components. To name a component (nmos and pmos), highlight the component, then right click and -> at the Instance menu. select “Name Instance: Manual” Key in the new component name in the at the bottom of the “New Value” column window. Name the components as shown (M1, M2). When done, click “OK”. Click at the bottom of the window when done. “OK” Repeat the same procedure for the nmos. (b)Add wires Unselect everything by pressing To add wire/net, click the right mouse “F2”. button, in the menu, choose “ADD” “Wire”. To add a wire between 2 points, click once on the starting point, move the cursor to the other point, and double click. To exit from this adding wire function, press “Esc”. (c) Name ports/nets Unselect all first (by pressing then select the net (yellow line) to be named “F2”), by dragging the cursor across the net. The net will be highlighted. Right click and choose from the menu. “Name Nets” “NET” Key in the new net name in the at the bottom of the “New Value” column window. Name the nets as shown (input, output). When done, click “OK”. Check Schematic After the schematic is captured, you need to check the schematic to make sure there are no errors on it. At the main menu, click on File -> Check Schematic. Check to see if the process passed or failed. Notice that at the bottom of the passed window, it reads “inverter/schematic/sheet1 check”
