— In order to reduce parasitic mismatch in analog circuits, some groups of devices are required to share a common centroid while being placed. Devices are split into smaller ones...
1In this paper, we will present an effective layout method for analog circuits. We consider symmetry constraint, common centroid constraint, device merging and device clustering du...

Abstract-- In analog circuits, blocks need to be placed symmetrically to satisfy the devices matching. Different from the existing constraint-driven approaches, the proposed topolo...
