A method for improving reusability of design procedures of analog circuits-storage and reuse of design constraints and uncertain parameters

摘要

A technique is discussed for attempting efficiency nd automation of design of analog circuits by preserving the design methods from the design process of an experi- ence designer and reusing them. The circuit point of this technique is how to preserve the design method with a high rate of reuse at a low cost. In the proposed procedure, the design method is expressed by three aspects:(1)informa- tion on the design procedure,(2)design constraints that the designer noted in the design process, and(3)uncertainty of the design regarding the numerical values used in the design process. These are stored in the design process and are reused.
