Abstract :
The impact of semi-custom design methodologies in the digital LSI field is obvious. A similar trend is now beginning to emerge in the field of analog LSI. The new trends and developments in the areas of design methodologies, CAD tools and software for low-cost, quick turnaround development of both bipolar and MOS analog LSI will be appraised, with specific areas of discussion on such key topics as mask-programmable analog and analog/digital arrays, analog standard cells, customer-interactive design methodologies and CAD tools, future trends towards user-designed analog LSI and if there will ever be an analog-silicon compiler.
