Variation-Aware Analog Structural Synthesis: A Computational Intelligence Approach

This book describes new tools for front end analog designers, starting with global variation—aware sizing, and extending to novel variation—aware topology design. The tools aid design through automation, but more importantly, they also aid designer insight through automation. We now describe four design tasks, each more general than the previous, and how this book contributes design aids and insight aids to each. The first designer task targeted is global robust sizing. This task is support...
