Automatically retargeting analog designs to new technology is an efficient solution for reusing analog IPs. However, most of previous approaches focus on layout retargeting only. How to obtain the new device sizes for another technology is often not discussed. Simply scaling the device sizes may not reach the desired performance due to the non-ideal effects. Therefore, a layout-aware automatic sizing flow for retargeting analog circuits is proposed in this paper. Based on the layout template extracted from the original design, the layout-induced parasitic effects in new technology are also considered in the sizing flow. Since the possible performance degradation has been considered, no redesign cycles and reserved design margins are required in the proposed sizing flow, which significantly reduces the design overhead. As shown in the experimental results, the design retargeting can be finished in one second by using the proposed flow, which demonstrates the feasibility and efficiency of this approach.
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.
