Book excerpt: Computer-aided design in VLSI is a continuously evolving subject, with new algorithms and solutions constantly modifying the established norms in order to accommodate efficient strategies to make CAD principles strong at an early phase of design abstraction. The same principle also applies to the routing phase in the physical design of VLSI circuits. There have been several attempts to innovate novel routing methodologies and make it parasitic aware. This awareness in the routing paradigm is important in high-frequency designs, since inductive and capacitive crosstalk that often proved to be crucial in the performance of digital and analog circuits were ignored in previous design attempts. We added an important flavor to make the interconnect-centric routing more meaningful. Realizing the importance of self and mutual inductance and coupling capacitance between neighboring wires, we introduced a routing approach based on higher order moment metrics, which captures the inductive and capacitive parasitics to form a cost function comprising of a mathematical expression. Minimizing the cost allowed us not only to obtain routes that are inductive and capacitive aware but also that produced the least ringing and delay during signal propagation. To make the route cost function even more robust and efficient, we introduced a concept of parasitic transformation on the universal RLC template required by the moment-driven cost function. Besides making the routing technique parasitic-aware, we also made the routing methodology suited towards faster convergence, in line with the requirement of an efficient CAD tool. A constraint-driven non-linear algorithm that satisfies the design rule requirements in addition to minimizing the moment-driven cost function using non-linear algorithm, has been developed to serve this purpose. Layout inclusive synthesis strategies have been present in the domain of Analog and RF synthesis for quite some time. Introducing capacitive and on-chip inductor parasitics helped to bring the parasitic awareness during synthesis and prevented the expensive re-design loop between fabrication and design specification from happening. In order to give the synthesis technique a new dimension and a more refined approach, we implemented a quasi-static extraction strategy in order to extract the resistive, self and mutual inductive parasitics of on-chip inductors and interconnects, within the synthesis flow. Previous attempts, which were ignorant of complete self and mutual inductive and capacitive parasitics of on-chip inductors and interconnects, benefited from this full parasitic extraction technique, thereby giving a fruitful closure to RF circuit synthesis by making the design layout-aware. We also extended the moment-driven routing methodology to the RF circuit synthesis domain, in order to make the routing process at the layout inclusion stage intelligent in terms of parasitic awareness, and efficient, by not transferring the burden of bad routing decisions to the synthesis engine. Coupled with this idea integration, we also included a proven fast and accurate parasitic device modeling strategy to obviate complicated layout generation and extraction steps required in the layout-inclusive RF circuit synthesis. The device parasitic extraction using this technique is based on multivariate interpolation strategy and led to faster convergence time for RF LNA synthesis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the ever increasing complexity of integrated circuits and constantly shrinking device sizes, the need to develop entire dystems on chip (SoC) has received a significant momentum. With this need, comes the responsibility of bringing about mature computer-aided design (CAD) techniques to handle the complexity of designing such systems. Although mature commercial techniques exist for designing the digital components in a system, design automation for the irreplaceable analog and radio-frequency (RF) circuits in a system remains incipient. Circuit sizing is one of the most important and challenging constituents of any analog design process. Given a set of high-level specifications and a circuit topology, sizing aims to determine the device dimensions and biasing information in order to meet the desired specifications. In this dissertation, we address two major problems ailing the sizing process. One of the most important challenges in analog synthesis is to design a circuit which meets the input specifications at the post-layout stage. The other problem we seek to address in this dissertation is the enormous time spent in sizing due to the overhead of running thousands of simulations for performance estimation. Analog and RF circuits are extremely sensitive to layout parasitics. This extreme dependence of the behavior of analog circuits, on layout-induced parasitics, is responsible for several silicon runs before a functional chip can be designed. We propose two techniques to introduce layout awareness during circuit sizing. The first approach is based on developing fast and accurate models of the layout parasitics. The parasitic capacitance models are used inside a circuit sizing framework to estimate the layout parasitics and account for them in the performance evaluation process. This approach relies on procedural layout generators (PLGs) for developing the parasitic models. The second approach proposed for layout-aware design draws a similarity between layout parasitics and process variables in a yield optimization problem. A two-step approach is proposed for identifying the worst case parasitic corners and for sizing in presence of these parasitics. A parasitic robust design is sought for which passes the post-layout validation test. Circuit sizing primarily comprises of two components: a search engine and a performance estimator. Stochastic combinatorial optimization techniques are used for exploring the design space. For each candidate design explored by the search engine, the circuit performance is estimated. Typically, the performance estimation time dominates the overall synthesis time. Most commercial approaches deploy a simulator-in-loop approach to the sizing problem due to the high accuracy desired from the estimation process. We propose two techniques for replacing the simulator with accurate and efficient performance models. Since the performance models allow a very quick evaluation of the circuit performance, their use helps in drastically reducing the time complexity of sizing. Unlike the existing macro-model driven sizing techniques, the proposed approaches guarantee to obtain accurate simulator validated design solutions. We propose a unified system which aims to resolve both the problems of computational complexity of performance estimation and performance closure at the layout stage in the same flow. The proposed system combines the ideas of parasitic modeling, design optimization in presence of worst case parasitics corners and performance macromodeling put forth in this dissertation to create high quality designs efficiently.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key task in the automated design of analog/RF circuits is circuit sizing, a process that involves assigning numerical values to unknown circuit parameters of a fixed topology, while being subjected to a set of performance constraints. Over the years, the terms sizing and synthesis have been used interchangeably, and have become synonymous in the analog domain. Mature tools for the synthesis of digital circuits are abundant, but the market for analog synthesis tools is still growing and very few commercial products exist. Several techniques have been developed in the past for analog synthesis, ranging from knowledge-based methods to techniques using numerical simulation. A frequently used technique involves an iterative stochastic search, which uses numerical simulations at every probable design point, in order to obtain the performance metrics. Expensive computations and parasitics unawareness of this traditional method necessitates a scheme which can produce fast layout aware designs. In this dissertation a new synthesis methodology, which uses parameterized layout generators and symbolic performance models (SPMs) inside the synthesis loop, has been developed to overcome the deficiencies of the previous circuit sizing method. This layout-inclusive (layout-in-loop) approach uses efficient parameterized procedural layout generators, obtained using the module specification language (MSL) system, for speedy layout instantiation. Fast performance estimation is achieved by using pre-compiled SPMs, which are symbolic representation of circuit performances, obtained using symbolic analysis. The transfer functions of SPMs are stored as efficient symbolic graphs called element-coefficient diagrams (ECDs). Techniques to include layout geometry effects in the SPMs have also been developed. This method is used for the synthesis of op-amps and filters. The method proposed above for analog circuits is then applied to the synthesis of an RF low-noise amplifier (LNA). This method also uses symbolic performance models (SPMs), and parameterized layout generator along with high-frequency extraction techniques in the synthesis loop. SPMs for noise figure and distortion parameters are developed using repetitive and weakly nonlinear symbolic analysis and are stored as pre-compiled ECDs. Full parasitic extraction is done by using multiple extractors. Quasi-static extraction is used to obtain the critical parasitic effects of interconnects and on-chip inductors. Further in the dissertation, efforts are made to overcome the shortcomings of the proposed method. The first limitation is the size of circuits that can be synthesized. It arises because of the limit on the size of ECD-code that can be compiled by a standard GNU C++ compiler. To overcome this bottleneck, a new comprehensive method and framework for exact symbolic analysis of large analog circuits is developed. The method is based on the concepts of hierarchical circuit decomposition, subcircuit symbolic analysis and transfer function synthesis. Node tearing methods have been used for decomposition and element-coefficient diagrams (ECD) based method is used for symbolic analysis of subcircuits. One of the key contributions of this work is a generalized methodology for transfer function synthesis, encompassing all interconnection templates for any two subcircuits. The method leads to the development of an easily automatable and efficient algorithm for generation of symbolic transfer function of large circuits. The hierarchical technique, developed in this work, is then used for layout-inclusive synthesis of large analog circuits. Techniques have been developed to generate the list and interconnection of subcircuits which undergo hierarchical symbolic analysis. A circuit is decomposed into common building blocks of analog circuits, for which netlists are obtained by an extraction of corresponding layout modules. The interconnection parasitics may or may not exist in the module netlists and therefore they may form subcircuits of their own. The other shortcoming of this work is that of time during performance estimation is spent on operating point analysis using SPICE, a numerical simulator. To remove this dependence on numerical simulation and further speedup synthesis, we have developed a modified gm/ID method and used it for synthesis of analog circuits. EKV MOSFET model equations for all small-signal parameters have been extracted, and the conditions for a transistor to be in saturation, have been derived.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical Synthesis of High-Performance Analog Circuits presents a technique for automating the design of analog circuits. Market competition and the astounding pace of technological innovation exert tremendous pressure on circuit design engineers to turn ideas into products quickly and get them to market. In digital Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) design, computer aided design (CAD) tools have substantially eased this pressure by automating many of the laborious steps in the design process, thereby allowing the designer to maximise his design expertise. But the world is not solely digital. Cellular telephones, magnetic disk drives, neural networks and speech recognition systems are a few of the recent technological innovations that rely on a core of analog circuitry and exploit the density and performance of mixed analog/digital ASICs. To maximize profit, these mixed-signal ASICs must also make it to market as quickly as possible. However, although the engineer working on the digital portion of the ASIC can rely on sophisticated CAD tools to automate much of the design process, there is little help for the engineer working on the analog portion of the chip. With the exception of simulators to verify the circuit design when it is complete, there are almost no general purpose CAD tools that an analog design engineer can take advantage of to automate the analog design flow and reduce his time to market. Practical Synthesis of High-Performance Analog Circuits presents a new variation-tolerant analog synthesis strategy that is a significant step towards ending the wait for a practical analog synthesis tool. A new synthesis strategy is presented that can fully automate the path from a circuit topology and performance specifications to a sized variation-tolerant circuit schematic. This strategy relies on asymptotic waveform evaluation to predict circuit performance and simulated annealing to solve a novel non-linear infinite programming optimization formulation of the circuit synthesis problem via a sequence of smaller optimization problems. Practical Synthesis of High-Performance Analog Circuits will be of interest to analog circuit designers, CAD/EDA industry professionals, academics and students.

Book excerpt: Layout-induced parasitics have significant effects on the behavior of circuits in general and the performance of high-frequency analog ones in particular. To achieve parasite-inclusive performance-closure, layout-aware circuit synthesis methodologies are beginning to emerge. In layout-in-the-loop synthesis methodologies, performance analysis is based on the generation of a concrete layout for the explored circuit sizes. A parasite-inclusive circuit is extracted from the layout using a standard extractor and is analyzed using a simulator to determine whether the required constraints are met; this is time consuming. Various approaches of estimating parasitics lack the correctness that would only come from examining the layout itself. The proposed approach tries to include the exactness of the layout to be generated without actually generating it. It relies on using pre-generated structures for the specified unsized circuit; these structures are generated pre-synthesis and contain the information that a layout would have provided to a synthesis process if it was to be generated. This information contains extraction specifics for modules, their location and routing characteristics.

This book was released on 2023-03-20 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, innovative research using artificial neural networks (ANNs) is conducted to automate the sizing task of RF IC design, which is used in two different steps of the automatic design process. The advances in telecommunications, such as the 5th generation broadband or 5G for short, open doors to advances in areas such as health care, education, resource management, transportation, agriculture and many other areas. Consequently, there is high pressure in today’s market for significant communication rates, extensive bandwidths and ultralow-power consumption. This is where radiofrequency (RF) integrated circuits (ICs) come in hand, playing a crucial role. This demand stresses out the problem which resides in the remarkable difficulty of RF IC design in deep nanometric integration technologies due to their high complexity and stringent performances. Given the economic pressure for high quality yet cheap electronics and challenging time-to-market constraints, there is an urgent need for electronic design automation (EDA) tools to increase the RF designers’ productivity and improve the quality of resulting ICs. In the last years, the automatic sizing of RF IC blocks in deep nanometer technologies has moved toward process, voltage and temperature (PVT)-inclusive optimizations to ensure their robustness. Each sizing solution is exhaustively simulated in a set of PVT corners, thus pushing modern workstations’ capabilities to their limits. Standard ANNs applications usually exploit the model’s capability of describing a complex, harder to describe, relation between input and target data. For that purpose, ANNs are a mechanism to bypass the process of describing the complex underlying relations between data by feeding it a significant number of previously acquired input/output data pairs that the model attempts to copy. Here, and firstly, the ANNs disrupt from the most recent trials of replacing the simulator in the simulation-based sizing with a machine/deep learning model, by proposing two different ANNs, the first classifies the convergence of the circuit for nominal and PVT corners, and the second predicts the oscillating frequencies for each case. The convergence classifier (CCANN) and frequency guess predictor (FGPANN) are seamlessly integrated into the simulation-based sizing loop, accelerating the overall optimization process. Secondly, a PVT regressor that inputs the circuit’s sizing and the nominal performances to estimate the PVT corner performances via multiple parallel artificial neural networks is proposed. Two control phases prevent the optimization process from being misled by inaccurate performance estimates. As such, this book details the optimal description of the input/output data relation that should be fulfilled. The developed description is mainly reflected in two of the system’s characteristics, the shape of the input data and its incorporation in the sizing optimization loop. An optimal description of these components should be such that the model should produce output data that fulfills the desired relation for the given training data once fully trained. Additionally, the model should be capable of efficiently generalizing the acquired knowledge in newer examples, i.e., never-seen input circuit topologies.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Layout-induced parasitics have significant effects on the behavior of circuits in general and the performance of high-frequency analog ones in particular. To achieve parasite-inclusive performance-closure, layout-aware circuit synthesis methodologies are beginning to emerge. In layout-in-the-loop synthesis methodologies, performance analysis is based on the generation of a concrete layout for the explored circuit sizes. A parasite-inclusive circuit is extracted from the layout using a standard extractor and is analyzed using a simulator to determine whether the required constraints are met. The purpose of layout generation during the synthesis process is solely to determine the layout-induced effects in terms of device and interconnect parasites in the extracted circuit in order to perform accurate, layout-aware performance analysis. If the parasites could be estimated or determined otherwise, there would be no need for layout generation. Various approaches of estimating parasitics lack the correctness that would only come from examining the layout itself. The proposed approach tries to include the exactness of the layout to be generated without actually generating it. It relies on using pre-generated structures for the specified un-sized circuit; these structures are generated before synthesis, they contain the information that a layout would have provided to a synthesis process if it was to be generated. This information contains extraction specifics for modules, location of modules and routing characteristics. Pre-Layout Extraction: The concept of Pre-Layout Extraction shall be used to cover the extraction specific information of modules present in the circuit. It is achieved using a high-level language MSL (Module Specification Language) for the specification of parameterized, topology-specific circuit extractors. Upon compilation, the MSL program yields an executable module which generates the extracted circuit containing parasitics, passive and active devices when given specific sizes. This is done without ever generating a layout. Multi-Placement Structures: For the placement specification of the layout, Multi-Placement Structures shall be used. The proposed approach aims at retaining the benefits of both optimization-based techniques and layout templates techniques: a fast instantiation time of layout for layout-inclusive synthesis and various placement possibilities for various input sizes. (No restriction to a single, pre-defined template). It consists of a one-time generation of a multi-placement structure for a specific unsized circuit. The obtained structure would be used in a layout-inclusive synthesis process in the following manner: It is provided with numerical sizes from a sizing algorithm tool and returns a specific floor-plan for the circuit. For different sizes given, the aim is to have the best floor-plan returned depending on the specified sizes. Multi-Variant Routing: The remaining part of a layout description known as routing shall be handled using the proposed idea of Multi-Variant Routing. This method follows the same line of thought as its corresponding one in the placement field. It consists of a one-time generation of a Multi-Variant Routing Structure that would instantiate distinct routing schemes for distinct specified sizes and modules positions. Depending on the size of the modules in the circuit, and on their locations instantiated using the Multi-Placement Structure, the Multi-Variant Routing Structure shall be able to produce the most efficient routing scheme for the proposed circuit. Its power relies on a one-time intelligent search accomplished before synthesis, while building the structure. Depending on the locations and the sizes of the modules in the circuit, the nets in the circuit are attached to a multiple-possibility path that is controlled by the dynamic feature of changin channels and blocks' sizes. The combination of these three described novel methods of layout approaches can be very beneficial to the synthesis of circuits and specially analog ones. It is expected to introduce a speedup factor varying from 4 to 5 with comparison to layout-inclusive synthesis approaches while having the quality of layout exploration not found in template-based approaches.
