Abstract

This paper presents a new description language and a graphical user interface for a module generator environment. The description language MOGLAN is adapted to the problem of writing analog module generators and provides an easy-to-read, short source code. The graphical user interface supports the writing, translating, executing, and debugging of modules. With these tools, analog designers are able to write module generators and to bring in their analog specific knowledge. This increases the quality of automatic layout solutions and decreases the time consuming process of manual layout generation
