. To connect elements using this tool, drag the connector from one connect dot to another.You can use Layers to place connections on different layers.

Pic. 4. Result — Shunt Capacitor Delay Element
This sample shows the basic circuit of using a shunt capacitor. In this circuit, M2 acts as a capacitor. Transistor M1 controls the charging and discharging current to the M2 from the NOR gate. The M1 gate voltage, Vctrl, controls the (dis)charge current. As a consequence, the NOR gate delay can be controlled.
