Algorithms for VLSI Physical Design Automation, Second Edition is a core reference text for
graduate students and CAD professionals. Based on the very successful First Edition, it …

This survey presents an overview of recent advances in the state of the art for computer-
aided design (CAD) tools for analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs). Analog …

The authors describe KOAN and ANAGRAM II, new tools for device-level analog placement
and routing. Analog layout tools that merely apply known digital macrocell techniques fall …

A methodology for the automatic synthesis of full-custom IC layout with analog constraints is
presented. The methodology guarantees that all performance constraints are met when …

Parasitic effects are extremely significant for the performance of analog and RF integrated
circuits. Although layout retargeting for technology migration or specification update is able …

A method for designing analog circuits in which topological design is followed by
simultaneous device sizing and layout design is described. By merging circuit and layout …

Designing high quality analog circuits demands special attention and usually is time
consuming. To speed up the process, an automatic analog layout retargeting tool based on …

Digital synthesis tools such as logic synthesis and semicustom layout have dramatically
changed both the frontend (specification to netlist) and backend (netlist to mask) steps of the …

This paper presents a computer-aided design tool, IPRAIL, which automatically retargets
existing analog layouts for technology migration and new design specifications. The reuse …

A high-level survey of the state of CAD (computer-aided design) for analog and mixed-signal
ICs is presented, focusing on synthesis-related work (cell-level and system-level synthesis) …
