Analog Blocks Design Automation

چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to present an automated design methodology for analog blocks. This method focuses on analog blocks design parameters automatic generation according to specific design constraints. This method is based on analog circuits’ mathematical models. These models are generated thanks to a “Design Of Experiment” (DOE) technique. The DOE technique takes as input electrical simulation results of a given circuit for different component geometries. DOE generates polynomial equations of the circuits’ outputs. Using these equations and according to given design specifications, the methodology provides the most suitable design parameter values. This efficient methodology reduces extensive simulations to find the right design parameters with respect to circuit accuracy. Key-Words: Analog circuits, design automation, modelling, Charge Pumps (CP), Current References (CR).
