It is time-consuming to obtain the matched devices by manual analysis and place them in hand for analog circuits of the mixed signal system. To achieve high performance, matched placement is a key point to layout design of analog circuits. In order to simplify layout design, it is necessary to realize the procedure automatically. In this paper, a method for automatic analog circuit placement is provided, as well as an efficient algorithm for the matched device groups. The experimental results verify the automatic placement algorithm of matched device groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
