process they use to reach satisfactory results. Tools used for
design (s- ulation) are mainly replacing the test benches of an
experimental lab. However, the growing complexity of the integrated
systems being designed today together with the increasing fragility
of analog components brought about by shrinking geometries and

the need for expe- enced analog designers has increased constantly

based on rigorous, mathematically literate, approaches. Doing so

Inthepast, severalattemptshavebeenmadeinacademia

Ipersonallybelievethattosubstantially- prove quality and design
time, tools are simply insuf?cient. A design methodology based on a
hierarchy of abstraction layers, successive re?nement between two
ad- cent layers, and extensive veri?cation at every layer is
necessary. To do so, we need to build theories and models that have
strong mathematical foundations. The analog design technology
community is as strong as it has ever be
