“…Existing approaches cover the generation of complex devices for MOS or bipolar [5, 61, as ;well as an interactive or automatic synthesis procedure for CMOS circuits [7]. Further, this method has been successfully applied to mixedsignal systems-on-chip [8]. As for the description languages, there is a wide variety starting from commercially available ones like L [9] or Skill [lo] leading to proprietary ones [l 13 and ending up with the general purpose language C [12].…”

A novel approach is presented to effectively generate process retargetable cell layout. The method is based on the general purpose computer language C. A set of functions has been defined which allows the generation and handling of complex parameterizable devices. The implementation of technology setup is described. The method is demonstrated for some mixed signal applications using several different CMOS technologies.Zndex terms -CMOS circuits and systems, design methodologies, tool-independent layout generation, C-based I P generation
