Abstract
In general, automatic layout composition techniques based on
pre-designed devices facilitate the production of small IC numbers by
prefabricating their basic structures. They also enable a high degree of
automatic layout synthesis. However for their correct electrical
behavior it is essential, that potential problems caused by
electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC) are fully considered during the
design phase. This paper presents a new concept for generating analog
layout components by combining module generators, known from digital
technology, with a flexible guidance scheme driven by the structural
synthesis of the analog circuit. By utilizing both pre-defined
functional blocks and flexible analog interconnection methods our
approach takes EMC problems fully into consideration. The layout concept
introduced here has successfully been applied to different sample
circuits
