CORNER PROCESS FOR ANALOG CIRCUIT DESIGN OPTIMIZATION

摘要

A method for analog circuit design includes the steps of (A) generating a plurality of initial designs of an analog circuit with a computer, (B) generating one or more intermediate designs of the analog circuit based on a selection of a plurality of characteristics from a subset of the initial designs, (C) combining the intermediate designs in each corner of a plurality of process corners, a plurality of voltage corners and a plurality of temperature corners to establish an intermediate population of the intermediate designs, and (D) searching the intermediate population of the intermediate designs to locate a final design of the analog circuit that is optimal across all of the corners.
