using Design Architect bar the analogue library(apparently my college can't determine which analogue library we should use, so we have to use the digital nmos/pmos library)
the problem is, without putting a buffer at the input, the software apparently assume that the signal at the output of the transmission gate will feedback some signal to the input which in the end render the transmission gate not attractive anymore if i always need to put a buffer just to prevent the signal from feedbacking
Ok so unless your digital simulations can take care of signal degradation and all the funky stuff with pass logic, then it's pretty hard to actually be sure that it will work in a real circuit. Usually digital simulations can only output 1 and 0 so it does not accurately represent what happens in a real circuit.the problem is, without putting a buffer at the input, the software apparently assume that the signal at the output of the transmission gate will feedback some signal to the input which in the end render the transmission gate not attractive anymore if i always need to put a buffer just to prevent the signal from feedbacking
I'm not sure what you mean by feedback but transmission gates are just like switches. They do not pass values in a single direction. A switch just completes a circuit, it does not care which direction the electrons flow. Transmission gates load the previous gates because they add capacitance and resistance. That's why stacking transmission gates is evil. Always ensure proper buffering when using them.
