The paper describes the recent state of the art in hierarchical analog synthesis, with a strong
emphasis on associated techniques for computer-aided model generation and optimization …

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 …

Analog synthesis tools have traditionally traded quality for speed, substituting simplified
circuit evaluation methods for full simulation in order to accelerate the numerical search for …

Standard-setting, groundbreaking, authoritative, comprehensive—these often overused
words perfectly describe The Circuits and Filters Handbook, Third Edition. This standard …

Analog synthesis tools have failed to migrate into mainstream use primarily because of
difficulties in reconciling the simplified models required for synthesis with the industrial …

Symbolic analysis has many applications in the design of analog circuits. Existing
approaches rely on two forms of symbolic-expression representation: expanded sum-of …

Lcapy is an open-source Python package for solving linear circuits symbolically. It uses a
superposition of DC analysis, AC (phasor) analysis, transient (Laplace) analysis, and noise …

We present a method for automated synthesis of analog circuits using evolutionary search
and a set of circuit design rules based on topological reuse. The system requires only …

In this paper, an evolutionary-based multi-objective criterion is introduced for simplified
symbolic small-signal analysis of analog circuits containing MOSFETs. After circuit analysis …

Symbolic analysis is an intriguing topic for VLSI design. Traditional symbolic analysis is
typically concerned with deriving exact or approximate analytic expressions of analog circuit …
