Abstract

A CAD system integrating switched-capacitor network function synthesis, circuit synthesis, and layout is presented. The tool addresses the design of programmable gain, cosine, interpolation, and arbitrary transfer functions in addition to canonical filter structures. Amplifier design is based on numerical optimization of highly accurate analytic models derived with the aid of symbolic-mathematics-based model development aids. The physical design of the filter is created by a general-purpose switched-capacitor circuit synthesizer. The tool makes it possible to synthesize a complete switched-capacitor signal path with full handcrafted quality in a single day. Examples taken from actual IC designs illustrate the utility and accuracy of the various functions
