✦ Synopsis

This paper discusses the realization of an analogue module generator that forms part of a mixed analogue/digital design environment. It is able to design analogue functional modules such as like amplifiers, filters, etc., either in an automatic or in an interactive session, starting from performance specifications over topology selection, parameter optimization and simulation/verification down to lay-out. The analogue module generator is integrated in a commercial EDA framework. Practical design results show the capabilities and efficiency of the system.
