  • Publication number: 20250013812
    Abstract: Automated circuit transistor level circuit schematic generation is disclosed. In some embodiments, parameters are received, and a transistor level circuit schematic is generated automatically by software based at least in part by the parameters. In some embodiments, software may receive parameters for functional circuit components and generate a transistor level circuit schematic for an integrated circuit comprising the functional circuit components having properties set by the parameters. The functional circuit components comprise analog circuits, which may be combined to form a circuit schematic comprising analog circuits. The present techniques are particularly useful for automatically generating analog and/or mixed signal integrated circuits.
