Book SynopsisThe tools and techniques you need to break the analog design bottleneck! Ten years ago, analog seemed to be a dead-end technology. Today, System-on-Chip (SoC) designs are increasingly mixed-signal designs. With the advent of application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) technologies that can integrate both analog and digital functions on a single chip, analog has become more crucial than ever to the design process. Today, designers are moving beyond hand-crafted, one-transistor-at-a-time methods. They are using new circuit and physical synthesis tools to design practical analog circuits; new modeling and analysis tools to allow rapid exploration of system level alternatives; and new simulation tools to provide accurate answers for analog circuit behaviors and interactions that were considered impossible to handle only a few years ago. To give circuit designers and CAD professionals a better understanding of the history and the current state of the art in the field, this volumTable of ContentsPreface ix Acknowledgments xi Part I Introduction to Analog CAD Part II Analog Synthesis Part III Symbolic Analysis Part IV Analog Layout Part V Analog Modeling Analysis Part VI Spec Simulation Part VII Analog Centering and Yield Optimization Part VIII Analog Test About the Editors 754
