SESSION 3
|
| | Hierarchical Synthesis for Mixed-Signal Designs
 |
| | Chair: Gerd Vandersteen - IMEC/VUB, Heverlee, Belgium
|
| | Organizers: Geert Van Der Plas, Koen Lampaert
|
| | This session describes the application of hierarchical synthesis and optimization techniques to the design of mixed-signal systems. The first two papers use hierarchical optimization techniques to design a charge pump phase-locked loop and a delta-sigma A/D converter. The third paper describes new methods to generate yield-aware pareto surfaces that link performance tradeoffs and their yield impacts, for use in hierarchical circuit design.
