  Abstract

A layout automation system for analog integrated circuits is proposed. The implemented system performs full-custom analog layout under the analog layout constraints. In order to overcome the demerits of conventional analog layout systems, parameterized module library is proposed. The system can support complex analog layout modules, resulting in a maximum expandability of the system. Moreover, modified dynamic multi-path algorithm is developed by enhancing the conventional Dijkstra algorithm. Several benchmark circuits such as comparator, op amp, and filter was tested by the system. Layout results compared to OPASYN show well-merging layout and interdigitized layout module.
