            Abstract : 
In the design of analog circuits, some pairs of devices are constrained to be placed symmetrically with respect to a common axis in order to cope with the device matching. In this paper, symmetry constraint is coped with CBL representation. In our algorithm, the incompleteness and redundancy of CBL can be corrected. And the experimental results show the effectiveness of our method
