Automated generation of analog schematic diagrams

An approach to the automated generation of analog schematic diagrams is presented. The algorithms expressly address the esthetic requirements for analog schematics. There are four major algorithms: (1) functional clustering; (2) block placement; (3) wiring between blocks; and (4) block expansion. Experiments show that schematics can be automatically generated with favorable run times for large networks. Typical SPICE networks of 100 components are generated in less than five minutes.<
