This paper describes a systematic approach that facilitates yield improvement of integrated circuits at the post-manufacture stage. A new Configurable Analogue Transistor (CAT) st...
This paper demonstrates a system that performs multiobjective sizing across 100,000 analog circuit topologies simultaneously, with SPICE accuracy. It builds on a previous system, ...
† Noise performance is a critical analog and RF circuit design constraint, and can impact the selection of the IC system-level architecture. It is therefore imperative that some ...
