Abstract
An automated analog layout tool creates not just one, but many electrically correct layouts from an input schematic. Designers can explore multiple layout options in a fraction of the time needed to produce just a single layout by hand. Because the tool produces layout results so quickly, parasitics are available for simulation early in the design process, further speeding the entire design cycle. The tool considers place and route concurrently.
