Abstract :
The authors present a design methodology and supporting CAD tools to implement high-level design automation of complex analog ASICs. The goal of the work is the direct mapping of ASIC specifications into an optimized physical layout of the ASIC performing the specified functions and being optimized as to fabrication parameters, operating conditions, and silicon area
