Resumen
In this paper, a tool based on free software to perform low level optimization on analog designs is presented. Nowadays, the use of design automation tools for microelectronic circuits design is extending from digital to analog circuits, due in part to the fact although the analog part of a mixed signal ASIC takes only the 10% of the silicona area, it represents almost 90% of the whole design time. For analog circuits, design process can be divided in two major tasks: topology selection an device sizing. The tool here presented consists on a simulation based optimizer, which is used to perform automatic low level analog circuit sizing. The tool is composed of three modules: a layout generator, which includes a parasitic extractor, an analog circuit simulator and circuit optimizer. The two first modules are respectively Mgic and Spice from Berkeley, while the third one, the optimizer, has been developed to evaluate dc, ac, and transient sensitivity simulations performed by Spice and make ...
