Abstract

A tool for the smart layout of analog modules, which aims to provide a flexible analog layout solution for the mixed analog-digital VLSI design environment, is described. New algorithms have been developed for novel primitive cell recognition, intelligent layout and detail routing, and performance-driven optimization. Software implementation and experimental results on several analog VLSI modules such as operational amplifiers and voltage-controlled oscillators are presented
