However, for analog layout, techniques are still much the same as they were years ago. True, there have been some improvements such as using parameterized cells to generate Design Rule Check (DRC) ...
Analog circuits often use structures like differential pairs and current mirrors, where the matching of device characteristics such as the threshold voltage V t is important. Circuits using these ...
There has been vast progress over the last 30 years or so in digital layout automation, making it possible to develop complex digital ICs relatively quickly. However, for analog layout, techniques are ...
Considerations for dividing analog and digital blocks. Decoupling techniques. Breaking down the board layers. How best to deal with grounding. Similar to building a house, it’s essential to create a ...
