hi i got problem while connecting two block of sub circuit Output effected : is this problem due to symbol pin or schematic pin (i have taken iopin for Schematic and inout pin for sysmbol) thank you @Boris Murmann @Tim Edwards
t
Is xschem giving you an error message when generating the netlist? If so, what is the error message?
a
no
i got the output
t
Then I do not understand the problem.

i am working on comparator circuit output of it connected to a logic sub circuit . output of comparator working fine while checking separately when i connected it with logic sub circuit output get affected @Tim Edwards
t
It is impossible to debug an issue for which the only description is "output gets affected".
b
Please show a schematic. I suspect you are loading the output of a latch comparator asymmetrically, which leads to an input referred offset. But it's really hard to tell from your description.
t
I'm suspicious of something much more fundamental, such as failing to specify the power supply in the digital components.

i connected one vdd to all other vdd with one same power supply . comparator : schematic logic block : schematic @Boris Murmann @Tim Edwards thank you
b
I don't see how the comparator is connected in your circuit. The left schematic is the comparator, the right schematic is some logic path with signals that I don't know.
a
using symbol i connected thank you
b
You are loading the comparator asymmetrically. Capacitive imbalance translates into a DC offset for a dynamic latch comparator. Read about it here: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/4033159. You need at least one or two inverters of the same size connected to the latch on each side before you can branch out into random logic.

I am grateful for this suggestion. once again thank you @Boris Murmann.
