Abstract :
This paper reports a synthesis system for analog circuits using the concept of over-designed circuits. A library is created with basic over-designed circuits. The system developed will automatically and intelligently explore the design space of various circuit configurations to produce an output circuit that matches the specification as closely as possible. The input specifications are defined in terms of the circuit performances that can be simulated. Multiple constraints are allowed in the system
