Abstract :
Design centering is an extremely important element of analogue circuit design. Only heuristic methods may be applied to solve centering problem, because it belongs to NP-hard category. This paper proposes an entirely new approach, based on granular method. Examples indicate, that significant improvement of production yield can be observed
