A case study: Automatic topology synthesis for analog circuit from an ASDeX specification

Abstract

ASDeX is an XML-based specification language for analog circuits. In this contribution we extend the ASDeX format for a usage in a synthesis work-flow. The intention is to realize a full-automatic synthesis of analog circuits from a given ASDeX specification representing all needed information for synthesis. With the help of ASDeX's API a reuse and an extraction of the ASDeX specification is easily accomplished. Using this API and several template scripts the set of target code needed for the synthesis framework will be generated. We apply the approach to an OP-AMP specification and present first synthesis results.
