Abstract :
A novel approach is described which allows the user to generate analog integrated circuits in both CMOS and bipolar technology in a very efficient way. The system supports the design of analog circuits from scratch down to the final layout in an appropriate interchange format. The user will be guided through the design process, always being able to interrupt it. The design process thus becomes highly interactive, user friendly, and rapid. The only tools used within this system are simulators like SPICE, BONSAI, and DOSCA.<>
