Journal ArticleDOI
Simulated annealing algorithms: an overview
TL;DR: A brief introduction is given to the actual mechanics of simulated annealing, and a simple example from an IC layout is used to illustrate how these ideas can be applied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computer-aided design of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits
Georges Gielen,Rob A. Rutenbar +1 more
TL;DR: This survey presents an overview of recent advances in the state of the art for computer-aided design (CAD) tools for analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs) and outlines progress on the various design problems involved.
Journal ArticleDOI
OASYS: a framework for analog circuit synthesis
TL;DR: A hierarchically structured framework for analog circuit synthesis is described and mechanisms are described that select from among alternate design styles and translate performance specifications from one level in the hierarchy to the next lower, more concrete level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of high-performance analog circuits in ASTRX/OBLX
TL;DR: A new synthesis strategy that can automate fully the path from an analog circuit topology and performance specifications to a sized circuit schematic and relies on asymptotic waveform evaluation to predict circuit performance and simulated annealing to solve a novel unconstrained optimization formulation of the circuit synthesis problem is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
KOAN/ANAGRAM II: new tools for device-level analog placement and routing
TL;DR: KOAN and ANAGRAM II differ from previous approaches by using general algorithmic techniques to find critical device-level layout optimizations rather than relying on a large library of fixed-topology module generators.
