Abstract :
A tool for the design and implementation of analog CMOS and switched-capacitor (SC) networks is described. It requires a set of specifications and a circuit description of each SC block. It generates the requirements of an operational amplifier for each SC block, and designs and evaluates the performance of operational amplifier through iteration with SPICE. The result is a stand-alone layout of a SC block which can be placed and routed with other SC blocks or analog and digital cells using a general auto-placement and router tool
