Abstract :
A CAD system has been developed to facilitate the automatic layout synthesis of CMOS analog chips. The technique uses a quantified knowledge-based approach. In this method, an intelligent assessment of the analog system is made to form a heuristic database to guide the CAD system in resolving the critical design and layout problems associated with analog VLSI design
