TUESDAY, June 8, 2004, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM | Room: 4
TOPIC AREA:  PHYSICAL CIRCUIT DESIGN

   SESSION 10
  Advances in Analog Circuit and Layout Synthesis
  Chair: Koen Lampaert - Mindspeed Technologies, Inc., Newport Beach, CA
  Organizers: Georges G. Gielen, Koen Lampaert

  This session deals with important advances in analog circuit and layout synthesis. The first paper presents a method for designing operational amplifiers using reversed geometric programming. The next paper describes an analog layout-centric reuse strategy. The third paper proposes techniques for fast estimation of parasitics during layout synthesis. Synthesis of reconfigurable analog circuits is described next. The session ends with a presentation on an electrical and physical synthesis flow for radio frequency integrated circuits.
