Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for genetic placement of analog and mix-signal circuit components. Embodiments may include receiving an unplaced layout associated with an electronic circuit design and grouping requirements. Embodiments may also include identifying one or more instances that need to be placed in the unplaced layout and areas of the unplaced layout configured to receive the instances. Embodiments may further include analyzing one or more instances that need to be placed in the unplaced layout and the areas of the unplaced layout configured to receive the instances, wherein analyzing is based upon a row-based data structure. Embodiments may also include determining a location and an orientation for each of the one or more instances based upon the genetic algorithm and generating a placed layout based upon the determined location and orientation for each of the instances.
