stick diagrams is a cartton of layout which helps in designing and synthesis of circuits

- 5. 5 Stick Diagrams VLSI design aims to translate circuit concepts onto silicon. stick diagrams are a means of capturing topography and layer information using simple diagrams. Stick diagrams convey layer information through colour codes (or monochrome encoding). Acts as an interface between symbolic circuit and the actual layout.
- 6. 6 Stick Diagrams Does show all components/vias. It shows relative placement of components. Goes one step closer to the layout Helps plan the layout and routing A stick diagram is a cartoon of a layout. Stick Diagrams S.N.Bhat, Faculty, Dept. of E&C Engineering, M.I.T Manipal
- 7. 7 Stick Diagrams Does not show • Exact placement of components • Transistor sizes • Wire lengths, wire widths, tub boundaries. • Any other low level details such as parasitics.. Stick Diagrams
- 8. 8 Stick Diagrams – Notations Metal 1 poly ndiff pdiff Can also draw in shades of gray/line style. Stick Diagrams Similarly for contacts, via, tub etc..
- 9. 9 Stick Diagrams – Some rules Rule 1. When two or more ‘sticks’ of the same type cross or touch each other that represents electrical contact. Stick Diagrams
- 10. 10 Stick Diagrams – Some rules Rule 2. When two or more ‘sticks’ of different type cross or touch each other there is no electrical contact. (If electrical contact is needed we have to show the connection explicitly). Stick Diagrams
- 11. 11 Stick Diagrams – Some rules Rule 3. When a poly crosses diffusion it represents a transistor. Note: If a contact is shown then it is not a transistor. Stick Diagrams
- 12. 12 Stick Diagrams – Some rules Rule 4. In CMOS a demarcation line is drawn to avoid touching of p-diff with n-diff. All pMOS must lie on one side of the line and all nMOS will have to be on the other side. Stick Diagrams
- 13. 13 How to draw Stick Diagrams Stick Diagrams
- 16. 16 Stick Diagrams 1. Draw the stick diagram for two input CMOS NAND gate. 2. Draw the stick diagram for two input NAND gate using NMOS Logic. 3. Draw the stick diagram for 2:1 MUX using a) Pass transistors b) Transmission gates. Stick Diagrams
