Abstract :
This paper presents a constraint-driven placement algorithm for analog integrated circuits. All constraints are classified according to their critical levels. Then a deterministic placement approach based on the less flexibility first principle driven by the extracted constraints is presented. Our approach aims at reducing mismatch and critical path parasitics. Examples drawn from industrial applications demonstrate the approach is very effective and promising
