Multi-Scenario Analog and Mixed-Signal Circuit Routing with Agile Human Interaction (Extended Abstract)

The expanding markets of emerging applications create large demands for analog and mixed-signal (AMS) integrated circuits. This increasing demand calls for a shorter design cycle and time-to-market period. Routing is one of the most time-consuming and tedious steps in the design cycle. The generation of high-quality routing for AMS circuits still heavily relies on human efforts. Most previous studies only focus on the scenario of pure analog circuit blocks and cannot cover the versatile scenarios from real-world designs with both analog and digital circuit blocks. In this work, we propose an AMS routing engine for designs containing both analog and digital circuit blocks. Through the full cooperation of a multi-scenario routing engine and agile human interaction, the framework can generate high-quality routing solutions for AMS circuits.
