The level of automation applied to analog design has never approached the level enjoyed by digital designers. For years designers have iterated through schematic entry, physical layout, parasitic ...

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 ...

Glayout is a powerful layout automation tool that generates DRC-clean circuit layouts for any technology implementing the Glayout framework. It is implemented as an easy-to-install Python package with ...

In analog layout design, precise layout matching techniques are crucial to ensure the accuracy and performance of the circuit so that transistors exhibit similar electrical properties (i.e.

Meeting high-performance requirements at low power isn’t easy. What is already challenging in digital is even more complex in analog. After specification and block-level system concept, the analog ...

Analog integrated circuits (ICs) are used to control and regulate conditions such as temperature, speed, sound, and electrical current. In analog ICs, voltage and current vary continuously at ...

Abstract: The layout of analog blocks has for a long time been a critical aspect to achieving the theoretical performance of a circuit. Perhaps more importantly, when the layout fails to match the ...
