Wednesday, June 12, 2002, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM | Room: 288 SESSION 29    Analog Synthesis & Design Methodology    Chair: C.- J. Richard Shi - Univ. of Washington , Seattle, WA    Organizers: Joel R Phillips, Kartikeya Mayaram    This session presents new developments in algorithms and methodology for synthesis and systematic design of analog and mixed-signal circuits. Two papers present progress in automatic model generation for synthesis. The third paper presents exploration methods for high-level design of delta-sigma modulators, and the final paper presents an A/D converter design case study.      29.1 An Efficient Optimization--Based Technique to Generate Posynomial Performance Models for Analog Integrated Circuits    Speaker(s): Walter P.
