In analog layout design, precise layout matching techniques are crucial to ensure the accuracy and performance of the circuit so that transistors exhibit similar electrical properties (i.e.

Combining pattern matching with traditional design and verification tools enables design and verification engineers to use an automated process to find areas of interest, then make design ...

This paper presents a layout-dependent manufacturability for analog integrated circuits. We focus on the relative variability of input op-amp-pair used in an instrumentation amplifier (in-amp). We ...

This paper describes a novel approach in which the dummy patterns can be easily customized and controlled from a design entry system, and used to drive a Tcl-programmable Calibre SmartFill engine to ...

Pulsic’s Animate ™ is the first complete automated layout system built from the ground up for transistor-level analog design. Animate overcomes traditional challenges to automating analog IC ...
