This demonstration gives an overview of our deterministic analog placement approach Plantage [9]. Guided by the hierarchical structure of an analog circuit, Plantage generates a set of placements.
متن کاملIPRAIL - intellectual property reuse-based analog IC layout automation
This paper presents a computer-aided design tool, IPRAIL, which automatically retargets existing analog layouts for technology migration and new specifications. The reuse-based methodology adopted in IPRAIL utilizes expert designer knowledge embedded in analog layouts. IPRAIL automatically extracts analog circuit and layout intellectual properties as templates, incorporates new technology desig...
متن کاملGenerating Analog IC Layouts with LAYGEN II - ReadingSample
In the past few years, several tools for the automation of the analog integrated circuit (IC) cell and system layout design, with application on both new and reused designs have emerged. Yet, most of the layout design is still handmade, essentially because analog designers want to have total control over the different design options, and also, due to the fact that current fully automated genera...
متن کاملLAYGEN – Automatic Analog ICs Layout Generator
This paper describes an innovative analog IC layout generation tool based on evolutionary computation techniques. The designer provides a high level layout description. This template contains placement and routing constrains and is independent from technology. This expert knowledge is used to guide an evolutionary optimization kernel during the automatic generation of the layout for the target ...
متن کاملAutomation of IC layout with analog constraints
| 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 feasible, or otherwise infeasibil-ity is detected as soon as possible, thus providing a robust and eecient design environment. In the proposed approach, performance speciications are translated into lower level bounds...
