Abstract :
This paper presents a new deterministic, relaxation based, placement methodology for analog circuits which takes into account electrical and topological constraints. The methodology is based on a three-steps process: initial constraints driven placement through convex optimisation, mechanical-like relaxation and compression. Experimental results are reported
