A Generic Standard Cell Design Methodology for Differential Circuit Styles

In this paper we present a generic methodology for the rapid generation and implementation of standard cell libraries for differential circuit design styles. We demonstrate a systematic approach for the classification of circuit topologies (footprints) and for generating the templates that correspond to a large number of functions. The generation of an extensive cell library with more than 4500 standard cells based on 19 footprints is demonstrated using a 180 nm CMOS technology.
