Third Advance: First diagram with Electric VLSI

First Diagram: Icon view.

It is important to know that Electric enables you to create differents views, diagrams and representations for the same cell. Basically we are going to use the schematic, icon and layout view for this project. 

In this advance we are gonna show you the icon view in order to get a better interpretation of the crossbar, and also we are gonna show you the schematic view.

This Figure shows the electric diagram of the crossbar by using ic blocks. 

As you can see, we just need some inverters, and 24 pass gates, in this case buffers tri_state. There are a lot of wires connecting all of the elements, but remember that just three buffers are gonna to turn on once, so the electric effort is not too much.

Now, you can see the schematic view, in this case we're gonna show you two images because the saturation of elements makes it difficult to understand.

This Figure shows a schematic view by using blocks representation, every block means a certain element, so it is easy to see the device in a general representation.

In other hand, this Figure shows a part of the schematic view by allowing the transparency of the blocks, so you can see inside of every block, and the connections. Don´t worry about the icon of every block, that is part of the view but isn´t an element, it is just for clarify what the group of transistors means.

Still, it is missing the layout view, that's because it requires more job, so be patient.
