  • Method and system for low noise integrated circuit design
    Patent number: 6950997
    Abstract: A method for designing an integrated circuit by a user, including: evaluating noise parameters for design elements of an integrated circuit design; determining if the noise parameters meet noise constraints of the integrated circuit design; and if the noise parameters do not meet the noise constraints, selecting alternative design elements having noise parameters that do meet the noise constraints.
