Abstract

An analog circuit design environment and its key features are presented. These are multifunctionality, advanced modeling, novel simulation approaches, general sizing algorithms, hierarchy, and automatic and interactive layout generation capabilities. Also, several developments in the field of analog design automation are discussed
