RIA: Automatic Synthesis of Custom and Semi-Custom Analog Integrated Circuits

研究方向是定制和半定制模拟集成电路的合成。重点是开发适用于高级模拟和混合模拟/数字电路的宏建模技术。这些宏模型根据一组输入性能参数预测电路的行为。方法是探索统计实验设计技术，以有效地产生高质量的模型。一套模型和建模技术，有助于预测行为的电路合成的层次设计工具正在开发。

The research is on synthesis of custom and semi-custom analog integrated circuits (IC's). The focus is on developing macromodeling techniques applicable to higher level analog and mixed analog/digital circuits. These macromodels predict the behavior of a circuit for a set of input performance parameters. The approach is to explore statistical experiment design techniques to generate high quality models efficiently. A set of models and modeling techniques that help in predicting the behavior of circuits synthesized by a hierarchal design tool is being developed.
