Abstract
The semiconductor industry historically has made strong statements about analog circuits to diminish in applications. In parallel electronic design automation (EDA) industry has been committed to enable a high level of analog design automation. However, today analog circuit design reality does not look very different to the status 10 years ago – and analog design is still a common discipline in semiconductor manufacturing. This paper will analyze reason why analog design is still important and why analog design automation is not as successful as its digital counterpart. It is shown that analog circuit complexity strongly increases with the trend towards building systems on chip. Therefore solving today’s mixed signal design problems is becoming urgent. Overall here the situation is not very different from the digital verification crisis we have seen some years back in the past.
