Practical Synthesis of High-Performance Analog Circuits presents a
technique for automating the design of analog circuits. Market
competition and the astounding pace of technological innovation
exert tremendous pressure on circuit design engineers to turn ideas
into products quickly and get them to market. In digital
Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) design, computer
aided design (CAD) tools have substantially eased this pressure by
automating many of the laborious steps in the design process,
thereby allowing the designer to maximise his design expertise. But
the world is not solely digital. Cellular telephones, magnetic disk
drives, neural networks and speech recognition systems are a few of
the recent technological innovations that rely on a core of analog
circuitry and exploit the density and performance of mixed
analog/digital ASICs. To maximize profit, these mixed-signal ASICs
must also make it to market as quickly as possible. However,
although the engineer working on the digital portion of the ASIC
can rely on sophisticated CAD tools to automate much of the design
process, there is little help for the engineer working on the
analog portion of the chip. With the exception of simulators to
verify the circuit design when it is complete, there are almost no
general purpose CAD tools that an analog design engineer can take
advantage of to automate the analog design flow and reduce his time
to market. Practical Synthesis of High-Performance Analog Circuits
presents a new variation-tolerant analog synthesis strategy that is
a significant step towards ending the wait for a practical analog
synthesis tool. A new synthesis strategy is presented that can
fully automate the path from a circuit topology and performance
specifications to a sized variation-tolerant circuit schematic.
This strategy relies on asymptotic waveform evaluation to predict
circuit performance and simulated annealing to solve a novel
non-linear infinite programming optimization formulation of the
circuit synthesis problem via a sequence of smaller optimization
problems. Practical Synthesis of High-Performance Analog Circuits
will be of interest to analog circuit designers, CAD EDA industry
professionals, academics and students.
