A layout-aware synthesis methodology for RF circuits

Advanced Statistical Methodologies for Tolerance Analysis in Analog Circuit Design

“…Given the high computational costs of the Spice models, their approximation through cheaper functions is the first step in many numerical procedures on microelectronic circuits. Within the vast set of methods proposed by researchers on the matter (Ampazis & Perantonis, 2002a;Daems et al, 2003;Friedman, 1991;Hatami et al, 2004;Hershenson et al, 2001;McConaghy et al, 2009;Taher et al, 2005;Vancorenland et al, 2001) in Table 3 we report a numerical comparison between two well reputed fitting methods and our proposed Reverse Spice based algorithm (for short RS). The methods are Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) (Friedman, 1991), i.e.…”

ALAMO: An Improved σ - Space Based Methodology for Modeling Process Parameter Variations in Analog Circuits

“…Several recent papers explain that layout parasitic needs to be incorporated early into the design flow [3,4,5]. Two alternatives exist to include parasitic effects into the transistor sizing process of analog circuit design.…”

A synthesis flow toward fast parasitic closure for radio-frequency integrated circuits

“…In [4] a simultaneous floorplanning and routing algorithm is presented with floorplans represented as slicing trees. In [5] simultaneous circuit and layout synthesis is achieved with a template-based layout.…”
