Abstract :
The most critical part of design automation of mixed analog digital circuits is layout related dependency of electrical characteristic of precision and sensitive analog parts of the ASIC. Circuit compilation principles and layout compilation principles are discussed. Design methodology, previously introduced, is refined to accommodate a wide variety of designs. A few design examples illustrating the capabilities of an expert design CAD tool based on the described principles are shown
