Abstract:ALIGN ("Analog Layout, Intelligently Generated from Netlists") is an open-source automatic layout generation flow for analog circuits. ALIGN translates an input SPICE netlist to an output GDSII layout, specific to a given technology, as specified by a set of design rules. The flow first automatically detects hierarchies in the circuit netlist and translates layout synthesis to a problem of hierarchical block assembly. At the lowest level, parameterized cells are generated using an abstraction of the design rul… Show more
