However, for analog layout, techniques are still much the same as they were years ago. True, there have been some improvements such as using parameterized cells to generate Design Rule Check (DRC) ...

There's a gaping hole in analog layout design automation. Over the past few years, a number of EDA companies have tried to fill it, but largely failed due to overambitious plans or lack of appropriate ...

All design engineers know it well: there is hardly any time left until tape-out, but the amount of work that remains is not decreasing as fast as the deadline is approaching. The intricate schematic ...

There are three steps we need to take into consideration before designing a fully fledged Analog or Digital IC chip. 1)Electrical Design-The process where we built a circuit concept and then design a ...

Tool developers have been working to keep pace with these requirements. For example, Synopsys has delivered faster circuit simulation performance every year, with improvements in both single core ...

Abstract: The strong impact of layout intricacies on analog-circuit performance poses great challenges to analog layout automation. Recently, template-based methods have been shown to be effective in ...
