Hi every one,
I have some circuits in cadence that i have created cell view from them. they have two inputs and two outputs i want to connect them but when i want to use one of them as feedback there is a warning message which is says "shorted outputs" because i connect two outputs of this blocks and then connect them to input of another block. what can i do to have no warnings?
with best regards
Matin
 

A warning is just a warning: it's in your responsibility if you connect outputs together. Normally this shouldn't be done, but there are of course cases where it may be done: e.g. pull-down outputs with a common pull-up, well-controlled tri-state outputs, or well symmetrized parallel outputs producing exactly the same signal (if a single output cannot deliver enough current).
 
You can put a presistor in one leg (or both) with a trivial value,
it will ERC clean and netlist into the Spectre deck at its value,
but will LVS as nothing (net connects through).
