Abstract This thesis aims at constructing an analog standard cell library of amplifiers that are commonly used in most analog and mixed-signal circuits. The main part of this thesis explores the design flow used to build the standard library followed by a collection of design examples applied to a set of selected cells. The thesis consists of five chapters including lists of tables, figures contents, and references. Chapter 1 Chapter 1 presents a brief introduction to the thesis’s motivation, main contributions, and organization. Chapter 2 Chapter 2 presents a literature survey of analog automation, and different IC digital and analog standard cell libraries. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 presents the design flow used to construct the analog standard cell library in detail, starting from extracting the symbolic expressions to evaluating the performance metrics. Chapter 4 Chapter 4 shows an overview of all the cells included in the standard library and presents design examples for single-stage, two-stage, and three-stage amplifiers. Also, a test case about the selection of the best amplifier topology is presented. Chapter 5: Chapter 5 presents this work’s conclusions and suggested future work. Keywords: analog IC standard cell library, MOS analog integrated circuits, gm/ID methodology, analog design automation, single-stage amplifiers; two-stage amplifiers, three-stage amplifiers. . |
