Hello everyone
i have generated layout of OTA design shown below. DRC is sucessfully run without ideal_balun
But i dont know how to connect ideal_balun in layout. please help me i got xfmr component error in LVS.
I have removed the ideal balun and put voltage sources with pins connection.
but problem is that i want to apply both differential voltage and input common mode voltage simultaneously. how can i apply it? 
How can i solve it? thanks in advance

    The clue is in the name. "ideal" should tell you that this is not a physical component, so connecting in the layout is obviously not possible. The balun should be part of your testbench schematic, not the design schematic.

    It sounds as if you probably need to speak to your supervisor.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
