Every few years, a new crop of companies purporting to solve the knotty problem of analog EDA emerges. Everything from recombinant IP to super-duper SPICE clones has trotted into the marketplace. Nevertheless, in terms of automation, the layout of analog circuitry hasn't changed much in the past 30 years.
Analog circuits are more difficult to design than digital circuits, because multiple interdependencies swamp the EDA developers' ability to construct rules for place and route, simulation and so forth. In fact, analog circuitry is so complex that some experts believe that solving the autom...
