Abstract :
A high-level top-down analog synthesis methodology is presented. It translates an initial signal flow graph representation of a transfer function into an architecture made of interconnected analog primitives. Constraints are imposed on the primitive weights and interconnections to ensure realizability. Transformations that generate realisable architectures are presented and illustrated through examples
