In analog layout design, precise layout matching techniques are crucial to ensure the accuracy and performance of the circuit so that transistors exhibit similar electrical properties (i.e.

This article presents a practical approach to the layout design of mixed-signal boards, discussing component placement, board layering, and ground-plane considerations.

The first is a general reluctance of analog layout engineers to approve layout generated by automated tools. When talking with layout people, even within the same company, different views are ...

You can implement an ideal layout with your embedded-system design by using four or more layers. You use these layers to properly implement the separation of digital and analog planes as well as to ...

The layout of analog blocks has for a long time been a critical aspect to achieving the theoretical performance of a circuit. Perhaps more importantly, when the layout fails to match the design, the ...

Overview Glayout is a powerful layout automation tool that generates DRC-clean circuit layouts for any technology implementing the Glayout framework. It is implemented as an easy-to-install Python ...

There's a gaping hole in analog layout design automation. Over the past few years, a number of EDA companies have tried to fill it, but largely failed due to overambitious plans or lack of appropriate ...
