Abstract

A Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) approach to cell-level analog circuit synthesis, allowing simultaneous topology selection and parameter selection, is presented. Topology choices are represented as binary integer variables and design variables (e.g., device sizes and bias voltages) are represented by continuous variables. Examples using a branch and bound approach to efficiently solve the MINLP problem for CMOS two-stage op amps are given.
