International Workshop on Design Automation for Analog and Mixed-Signal Circuits

Co-located with
International Conference on Computer-Aided
Design
With the aggressive scaling of
advanced IC technologies, today’s analog
and mixed-signal (AMS) circuits have become extremely complex. As
circuit designers have adopted a number of non-traditional
methodologies (e.g., multi-mode operation, adaptive self-healing, etc)
to address the design challenges associated with technology scaling
(e.g., reduced voltage headroom, increased process variation, etc), the
corresponding digital-analog interactions have become increasingly
difficult to verify. These recent trends of AMS circuits have brought
up enormous new challenges and opportunities for AMS CAD. The purpose
of this workshop is to report recent advances on AMS CAD and, more
importantly, motivate new research topics and directions in this area.
Topics of
interest include (but not limited to):
- Behavioral and performance modeling at both circuit and system levels
- Analog and mixed-signal simulation and verification
- AMS self-healing and post-silicon tuning
- AMS circuit optimization and design space exploration
- PVT variations and reliability for AMS circuits
- AMS testing and diagnosis
Posters that address any of the
aforementioned topics are invited.
Posters addressing AMS design issues outside of these areas will also
be of great interest to the workshop. They will be considered equally
relevant in review process. The workshop will NOT publish official
proceedings including all posters.
