Summary:Analog integrated circuits are more sensitive to process
variations than their digital counterparts. This fact, along with the
lack of analog standard cells, results in tedious layout of analog
circuits. Layout techniques such as interdigitation can make key analog
components less sensitive to process variation, but requires complicated
and time consuming full-custom layout. This paper presents an analog
layout assistant (ALAS!), that automatically generates matched and
balanced CMOS component pairs with minimal input parameters from the
user
