Automatic Synthesis Of Vlsi Layout For Analog Continuous-Time Filters, David Lyle Robinson
Automatic Synthesis Of Vlsi Layout For Analog Continuous-Time Filters, David Lyle Robinson
Dissertations and Theses
Automatic synthesis of digital VLSI layout has been available for many years. It has become a necessary part of the design industry as the window of time from conception to production shrinks with ever increasing competition. However, automatic synthesis of analog VLSI layout remains rare.
With digital circuits, there is often room for signal drift. In a digital circuit, a signal can drift within a range before hitting the threshold which triggers a change in logic state. The effect of parasitic capacitances for the most part, hinders the timing margins of the signal, but not its functionality. The logic functionality …
