A large portion of the effort involved in designing  these circuits is spent in the layout phase. Whereas the physical  design of digital circuits is automated to a large extent, the layout  of analog circuits is still a manual, time-consuming and error-prone  task. This is mainly due to the continuous nature of analog signals,  which causes analog circuit performance to be very sensitive to layout  parasitics. The parasitic elements associated with interconnect wires  cause loading and coupling effects that degrade the frequency  behaviour and the noise performance of analog circuits. Device  mismatch and thermal effects put a fundamental limit on the achievable  accuracy of circuits. For successful automation of analog layout,  advanced place and route tools that can handle these critical  parasitics are required. \u003cbr\u003e  In the past, automatic analog layout tools tried to optimize the  layout without quantifying the performance degradation introduced by  layout parasitics. Therefore, it was not guaranteed that the resulting  layout met the specifications and one or more layout iterations could  be needed. In \u003cem\u003eAnalog Layout Generation for Performance and\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eManufacturability\u003c\/em\u003e, the authors propose a performance driven  layout strategy to overcome this problem. In this methodology, the  layout tools are driven by performance constraints, such that the  final layout, with parasitic effects, still satisfies the  specifications of the circuit. The performance degradation associated  with an intermediate layout solution is evaluated at runtime using  predetermined sensitivities. In contrast with other performance driven  layout methodologies, the tools proposed in this book operate directly  on the performance constraints, without an intermediate parasitic  constraint generation step. This approach makes a completeand  sensible trade-off between the different layout alternatives possible  at runtime and therefore eliminates the possible feedback route  between constraint derivation, placement and layout extraction. \u003cbr\u003e  Besides its influence on the performance, layout also has a profound  impact on the yield and testability of an analog circuit. In  \u003cem\u003eAnalog\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eLayout Generation for Performance and  Manufacturability\u003c\/em\u003e, the authors outline a new criterion to quantify  the detectability of a fault and combine this with a yield model to  evaluate the testability of an integrated circuit layout. They then  integrate this technique with their performance driven routing  algorithm to produce layouts that have optimal manufacturability while  still meeting their performance specifications. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAnalog Layout Generation for Performance and Manufacturability\u003c\/em\u003e  will be of interest to analog engineers, researchers and students.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-04-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792384793\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-4501-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 175.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578400727180,"sku":"9780792384793","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792384793.jpg?v=1767145963","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792384793","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
