Performance Estimation in Analog Computer Aided Design
In this paper, part of a joint effort in developing an analog design automation system with different levels of synthesis has been described. The study has been restricted to various types of analog CMOS circuits. Transistors have been modelled using analog neural networks trained with data obtained from simulation tools. Using these models in a circuit block, DC operating points have been dete...

متن کاملAnalog CMOS Design Automation Methodologies for Low-Power Applications
The design automation of analog CMOS integrated circuits (ICs) is a demanding task in microelectronics industry, because of the crescent necessity for low-power design and reduced time-to-market. Nowadays, most analog sizing designs are done manually with some aid of simulation tools and equation-based models and the quality of the resulting circuit is dependent on the expertise of the designer...
متن کاملState-of-the-Art on Automatic Analog IC Sizing
In this chapter a state-of-the-art review on analog integrated circuit (IC) design automation tools applied to the specification translation problem is presented. Having the right topology for a given set of specifications is indispensable for a high performance design. An inadequate topology makes the design more difficult (or even impossible), and may require unnecessary resources, which is n...
