Abstract
The design of analog integrated circuits requires extensive manual work which is error-prone and inefficient. With advanced ultra-deep sub-micron (UDSM) technologies, the manual design effort increases further dramatically. This work presents the application of a rethought generator approach for the efficient reusable design of a 12 bit current steering DAC. The current mirror stage of the DAC, which is arranged in the complex Q² random walk scheme for high intrinsic matching [1], is realized by a circuit generator which automatically creates schematic, symbol, and layout of the required cells within few minutes. Originally focused on a 28 nm bulk technology, the generator code was also executed in a 28 nm FD-SOI technology with minor migration effort due to the generic nature of our tool. In addition, the fast circuit generation enables an efficient layout optimization showcasing the benefit of analog circuit generators for “bottom-up” design [2] in advanced technology nodes.
