  • Abstract
    The CAD tools that have been developed for automated analog synthesis are reviewed. The synthesis process is described. The major techniques employed by the tools are examined. They are knowledge-based hierarchical design, analytic design, and placement/routing. Critical design issues are identified. It is shown how the technique discussed could be combined in a comprehensive framework supporting design from specification to physical layout.<>
