Hi,

I need to design a circuit which gives positive half cycle of sine wave when logic 1 is given as input and negative cycle of sine wave when logic 0 is input. Please let me know how to design the same using cadence.

Basically You have to design sqare wave to sine wave transformation. Do You have to control amplitude and offset of sine wave?

I am not controlling amplitude or offset. I simply need transformation through analog blocks. I want to check the simulation in cadence.
 

@shaikss: Do u have sine-wave/square wave generator or do u even need to design it with IC 8038.

Assuming u have square-pulse(0V - 5V) & a sine-wane(-1V - 1V). Can u also mention the frequency of ur square wave & sine wave.I assumed that frequency of o/p is such that comparator using 741 & half-wave rectifier using diode works.

Use two comparators such that,when your square wave is higher than (2.5 V) 1st comparator is switched on (2nd off) & when it is lower than 2.5V 2nd comparator is on(1st off).

When sq.wave.in > 2.5 V,1st comparator is on giving logic '1',multiply this with sine wave using IC 633 & use a half-wave rectifier(diode) to give positive pulses of sine wave.
When sq.wave.in < 2.5V ,2nd comparator is on giving logic '1',multiply this with sine wave & use a half wave rectifier in reverse fashion to give negative pulses of sine wave.

U'll have 2 outputs in ur circuit.U'll get positive pulses on one & negative on other.If u want a single output then just add using an adder circuit to get a single output

I have to simulate it using cadence. I have digital data at 1Mbps. So, for simulation purpose, I can make use of pulse data with a period of 1 us. But the problem is how to convert it to sine?
 

I think a Bessel low pass filter will convert a rectangular pulse into a reasonable approximation of a half sine pulse which may help. A sine squared filter also works but is not so easy to make.

1MHz!!!! and i assumed that the frequency of your sine-wave will not be greater than 1kHz.
Maybe you could do a square to sine-wave transformation.
Convert square-wave to triangle-wave and then convert it to sine the way they do it in 8038.

But i think this method is long & maybe there are better ways to do it.
