Abstract
The stringent requirement of precision in the design of analog integrated circuit layout for correct functionality and reasonable performance warrant the use of parameterized module generators. A methodology for the design of a module generator is developed which outputs the mask-level topological description of the layout of the specified analog circuit and a (circuit-level) simulation model that includes the operational sensitivities of the circuit. The effectiveness of this methodology is demonstrated by the example of a generator for an operational transconductance amplifier.<>
