“…In this proposed method we consider each parasitic as the circuit parameter to evaluate its sensitivity value. The detailed procedures about how to calculate performance sensitivities has been demonstrated in [13] [12]. In our proposed method parasitic sensitivity and optimization are calculated and evaluated outside the circuit synthesis loop.…”

High-performance circuit optimization and synthesis should consider parasitic effects. This paper introduces techniques for parasitic estimation and fast parasitic optimization based on symbolic sensitivity analysis. An effective framework to incorporate parasitic modeling and optimization is presented in order to account for parasitic effects during synthesis. In this paper we primarily focus on using efficient symbolic sensitivity analysis based on element-coefficient diagrams (ECD) to evaluate the dominant parasitic effects so as to eliminate insignificant parasitics. An ECD is the cancellation-free and per-coefficient term generation version of determinant decision diagrams (DDDs). In this paper, parasitic-aware analog circuit synthesis methodology is proposed. The accuracy and efficiency of the parasitic-inclusive optimization have been demonstrated.

The generalization of Bode’s sensitivity analysis technique for all types of the transfer functions and circuit elements is presented in the paper. The proposed formulae for first- and second-order symbolic sensitivity calculation provide the compact size of obtained expression and have the advantages of cancellation-free sum-of-product terms and matrix-free computation. This is achieved by means of the concept of high order summative cofactors and the generalized parameter extraction method. The proposed technique is implemented in symbolic circuit analysis program Cirsym. Illustrative example on symbolic sensitivity circuit analysis and comparison of the presented technique with the transimpedance method and the method based on the modified Coates flow-graph are given.

A new method of the multiparameter symbolic sensitivity determination based on the equivalent nullor model of active devices and modified Coates flow graph is presented. The proposed method is simple and performs the multiparameter symbolic sensitivity analysis of a synthesized network with respect to various circuit parameters. A special software tool called "HoneySen" has been developed to implement the suggested method. All partial transfer functions and partial sensitivities can be determined, too. Symbolic results for the multiparameter sensitivity of the voltage transfer function for a fourth-order low pass filter is presented. Comparison of the presented method with the Transimpedance method is performed.
