Title
Procedural Analog Design (PAD) Tool
Abstract
This paper presents a new Procedural Analog Designtool called PAD. It is a chart-based design environmentdedicated to the design of analog circuits aiming tooptimise design and quality by finding good tradeoffs.This interactive tool allows step-by-step design ofanalog cells by using guidelines for each analog topology.At each step, the user modifies interactively one subset ofdesign parameters and observes the effect on other circuitparameters. At the end, an optimised design is ready forsimulation (verification and fine-tuning). Furthermore,PAD provides a layout generator for matchedsubstructures such as current mirror, cascode stage,differential pair, etc.The analog basic structures calculator embedded inPAD uses the complete set of equations of the EKV MOSmodel, which links the equations for weak and stronginversion in a continuous way[1,2].The present version of PAD covers the proceduraldesign of transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) anddifferent operational amplifiers topologies.
