摘要: A systematic design methodology for high-speed high-accuracy D/A converters has been demonstrated. The covers the complete flow starting from specification phase of converter as macrocell in a larger system down to fully synthesized and laid out implementation followed by verification entire with behavioral model extracted actual designed converter. well established performance-driven top-down is used synthesize Both commercially available newly developed software tools (such Mondriaan layout tool analog circuits regular array-type patterns) support this methodology. correctness effectiveness proven fabrication measurement three converters. During designs, was refined supporting were developed, which finally resulted productivity improvement factor 2.75 x.
