Ex No: 06 - Design & Implementation of 2-Bit Multiplier Using Cadence Virtuoso

Aim

The aim is to design and implement a 2-bit Multiplier using Cadence Virtuoso and verify its functionality through transient analysis simulation.

Tools Required

Cadence Virtuoso Suite

• Virtuoso Schematic Editor (for circuit design)
• Spectre Simulator (for circuit simulation)

Process Design Kit (PDK)

• CMOS technology library

Computer System

• Minimum 4GB RAM and a multi-core processor

Procedure

1. Launch Cadence Virtuoso Environment:

• Open the Cadence Virtuoso tool and set up the working library.
• Create a new schematic cell view for the 2-bit Multiplier design.

2. Schematic Design:

• Select NMOS and PMOS transistors from the library.
• Construct the 2-bit Multiplier circuit using AND and ADDER logic gates.
• Connect the inputs (A1, A0, B1, B0) and outputs (P3, P2, P1, P0) properly.

3. Simulation:

• Check the design for errors and proceed with simulation.
• Launch the Analog Design Environment (ADE).
• Perform transient analysis to verify the multiplication logic.
• Set up input stimulus and analyze the output waveform.
