Abstract :
Design issues in analog IC design are discussed. Heuristic algorithms are considered as a means of reducing the computational complexity of the problem. A module generator for an op amp, which incorporates heuristic algorithms to choose circuit technology and reduce crosstalk in the placement and routing of the layout, is presented
