Routing techniques for analog and radio-frequency (A/RF) integrated circuit (IC) design
automation have been proposed in the literature for over three decades. On those, an …

We describe a new method for determining component values and transistor dimensions for
CMOS operational amplifiers (op-amps). We observe that a wide variety of design objectives …

A hierarchically structured framework for analog circuit synthesis is described. This
hierarchical structure has two important features: it decomposes the design task into a …

We present a new synthesis strategy that can automate fully the path from an analog circuit
topology and performance specifications to a sized circuit schematic. This strategy relies on …

Analog synthesis tools have traditionally traded quality for speed, substituting simplified
circuit evaluation methods for full simulation in order to accelerate the numerical search for …

It is a great honor to provide a few words of introduction for Dr. Georges Gielen's and Prof.
Willy Sansen's book" Symbolic analysis for automated design of analog integrated circuits" …

Abstract\Ve present a method for optimizing and automating component and transistor sizing
for CMOS operational amplifiers. lVe observe that a wide variety of performance measura …

Analog synthesis tools have failed to migrate into mainstream use primarily because of
difficulties in reconciling the simplified models required for synthesis with the industrial …

A methodology for the automatic synthesis of full-custom IC layout with analog constraints is
presented. The methodology guarantees that all performance constraints are met when …

The electronics industry is increasingly focused on the consumer marketplace, which
requires low-cost high-volume products to be developed very rapidly. This, combined with …
