A design methodology with a good trade-off between design time and quality in the automatic synthesis of CMOS operational amplifiers is presented. It is based on an iterative device sizing approach in which a multivariate interpolation technique provides a way to improve ihe design and the SPICE simulator gives quantitative evaluation of the resultant circuit performance in each design iteration. The methodology has been implemented and proved to be very practical and promising.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
