This paper discusses the design of an Integrated Circuit (IC) based for a Demultiplexer. The based was designed by using an open source software namely Electric VLSI Design System as the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tool. In order to produce the based, the basic knowledge of fabrication process and IC design rules are expounded. The complete based of the Demultiplexer was designed based on its schematic circuit, which consists of NOT gates, 2-input NAND gates, 3-input NAND gates, 4-input NAND gates, 2-input AND gates and 3-input AND gates. The based had undergone Design Rule Check (DRC) set by the Electric VLSI Design System to check for any design rule error. Both based and schematic circuit of the Demultiplexer were then simulated through Based versus Schematic (LVS) to ensure they were identical. LT spice is used as simulator to carry out the simulation work and verify the validity of the function. The simulation output indicated that results of the based and schematic circuit for Demultiplexer were essentially identical and matches the theoretical results.?
