Layout-constrained Retargeting of Analog Blocks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a complete methodology for retargeting of transistor-level circuits to different sets of specifications. By careful integration of the device sizing and layout generation tasks, fully functional designs are generated in a few minutes of CPU time. The methodology is illustrated via the retargeting of a fully-differential Miller-compensated two-stage operational amplifier for a new set of specifications.

GBLD: A Formal Model for Layout Description and Generation
In this paper, we introduce a layout description and generation model, GBLD, based on the notions and elements of L-systems and context-free grammars. Our layout model is compatible with geometric layout formats, such as GDSII or CIF. However, it is more powerful and more concise. The layouts represented by GBLD are sizeable, parameterised, and can incorporate design rules. GBLD has the potenti...

متن کاملContent-Aware Re-targeting of Discrete Element Layouts
Example-based modeling is an active line of research within the computer graphics community. With this work we propose a re-targeting scheme for polygonal domains containing a layout composed of discrete elements. Retargeting such domains is typically achieved employing a deformation to the initial domain. The goal of our approach is it to compute a novel layout within the deformed domain re-us...
