LAYGEN – Automatic Analog ICs Layout Generator
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an innovative analog IC layout generation tool based on evolutionary computation techniques. The designer provides a high level layout description. This template contains placement and routing constrains and is independent from technology. This expert knowledge is used to guide an evolutionary optimization kernel during the automatic generation of the layout for the target technology. Additionally, this template can be used hierarchically in the definition of templates for more complex circuits. The LAYGEN tool is here presented and demonstrated for the layout generation of typical

Generating Analog IC Layouts with LAYGEN II - ReadingSample
In the past few years, several tools for the automation of the analog integrated circuit (IC) cell and system layout design, with application on both new and reused designs have emerged. Yet, most of the layout design is still handmade, essentially because analog designers want to have total control over the different design options, and also, due to the fact that current fully automated genera...
