In this paper, a methodology for automatic generation of placement templates for analog integrated circuit (IC) design is proposed and targeted to state-of-the-art layout-aware circuit-sizing flows. The multi-objective optimization (MOO)-based placement templates generator (PTG) inputs a Pareto set of sizing solutions and outputs a set of optimal sizing-independent non-slicing B∗-tree floorplan representations,...
In this paper, the concept of hierarchical multi-objective optimization (MOO) is applied to analog integrated circuit (IC) placement automation, where current-flow and current-density considerations are taken to improve the reliability and, reduce the routing-induced parasitics of the circuit post-layout. The current-flow constraints are satisfied by forcing a monotonic routing directly in an absolute...
In this paper an innovative routing methodology considering wiring symmetry (WS) for multiport multiterminal (MP/MT) signal nets of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs) is presented. In our work, first, an electromigration (EM)-aware wiring topology for each power and signal network is constructed directly from the netlist, and then, several embedded symmetry rules between wires are automatically...
This paper describes an electromigration-aware and IR-Drop avoidance routing approach considering multiport multiterminal (MP/MT) signal nets of analog integrated circuits (IC). The effects of current densities and temperature in the interconnects may cause the malfunction/failure of a circuit due to IR-Drop or electromigration (EM). These become increasingly more relevant with the ongoing reduction...
In the state-of-the-art on analog integrated circuit (IC) automatic routing approaches it is assumed that each terminal has only one port that can be routed, however, in practice a device usually contains multiple electrically-equivalent locations where the connection can be made, multi-port terminals, which are not properly explored. This paper describes an innovative evolutionary approach with multi-port...
