This paper presents a method to decompose an op-amp into its functional blocks. The method is able to recognize functional blocks on a high level of abstraction as loads or amplification stages which have a large set of possible structural implementa

The paper presents a new approach to automate the set-up of the design equations of the manual analog design process. Its main contribution is a comprehensive hierarchical performance equation library (HPEL) for op-amps. The HPEL makes the set-up of

Specialized power-down circuitry can switch off an analog circuit when not required for system operation. When interconnecting sub-circuits with power-down functionality, new design errors, i.e. short-circuit paths, floating nodes and asymmetrical vo

Extracting structural information of a design is one crucial aspect of many circuit verification and synthesis methods. State-of-the-art structure recognition methods use a predefined building block library to identify the basic building blocks in a

Analog circuits can be switched into power-down mode to reduce their overall power consumption. State-of-the-art synthesis tools can automatically construct the power-down circuitry of such a circuit block. However, when connecting such sub-circuit b

This paper presents a new approach to describe the analog power-down synthesis problem by combining two state-of-the art constraint programs to a unified, homogeneous constraint optimization problem that, in contrast to the previous approach, allows

Modern system-on-chip designs implement sophisticated power management features to achieve better energy efficiency. This includes power-down modes for analog circuit blocks. Typically, they are implemented by additional power-down circuitry which sh

To reduce the power consumption of modern system-on-chips, parts of the system can be switched off when not required for system operation. Additional circuitry realizes this power-down mode functionality of an analog circuit by shutting off all of it
