“…To this purpose, a number of design methods and tools have been reported for the synthesis of Ms [7], [13], [98]- [100]. The majority of them are based on the well-known top-down/bottom-up hierarchical design methodology [98].…”

“…In this approach the modulator is broken up into a set of subcircuits, often called building blocks or basic blocks. These building blocks are described by equations that express their outputs in terms of their inputs and their internal state variables [98]. Thus, the accuracy of the simulation depends on how precisely those equations-considering the nonideal and nonlinear circuit error mechanisms discussed in previous section-describe the actual behavior of each building block [100], [103]- [105].…”

“…If the difficulty of obtaining practical designs for the SC persists, then user may also try to synthesize a new topology. (8)(9)(10): Finally, the layout synthesis of the filter will be generated based on the text mode output file for OPASYN and MAGIC. The automated layout generation of the circuit will allow the selection of the different electronic components (OA's, switches and capacitors) from a library of cells.…”

“…In this paper, we present a computer-aided tool with three levels of synthesis [7][8][9][10][11] to describe the design strategy for multistage analog SC circuits, from filter specifications to the circuit layout. It makes use of the available architectures and techniques to optimize the implementation of a circuit.…”

This paper presents a few design considerations in implementing building block-based Computer Aided Design (CAD) for analog switched circuits. The considered synthesis include four independent levels: 1) system level, 2) building block level, 3) circuit simulation level, and 4) layout generation, which multistage can separate a larger size circuit into a few major basic building blocks. The aim of this paper is to show how to integrate a few existing programs to shorten the design period, from the user friendly interfacing to the corresponding building blocks. A CAD tool for Switched Capacitor (SC) analogue circuit is shown briefly.

“…This has resulted in the development of several experimental analog synthesis systems, with which several designs have successfully been synthesized, fabricated, and measured. This has been accomplished not only for opamps, but also for filters [99] and data converters [100]. Based on these recent methods, several commercial tools are currently being developed that will be introduced in the marketplace in the near future.…”
