Abstract :
CAE tools for use in design of bipolar analog ICS with the analog FASTRACK design system are discussed. Two tools, device design and autogen, automatically design and lay out a full-custom transistor. The statistical analysis and modeling (SAM) tool is used to generate model parameter values for a variety of deterministic and statistical simulation modes. A tool for automated synthesis of IC macromodels (ASIM) is provided to create macro/behavioral models of analog and digital blocks for up to 100 times faster circuit-level simulation
