Abstract
This chapter presents a brief introduction to the area of analog integrated circuit (IC) design automation, with special emphasis to the automatic layout generation. First, the analog design problem is characterized, then, a well-accepted design flow for analog IC is presented, and finally, LAYGEN II features are outlined.
