Abstract
A tool set, Mondriaan, is proposed which targets the physical design automation of all array-type analog blocks. The approach takes in consideration typical analog constraints and is very flexible. A three step procedure (floorplan generation, symbolic place and route and technology mapping) solves the layout synthesis problem in a fast and technology independent way. Industrial strength examples show the applicability and usefulness of the proposed solution
