After having first introduced what is an integrated CAD system and the functions it has to perform, this paper describes the particularities of CASSIOPEE, a prototype under development at CNET-GRENOBLE, of its realization, and of the timing simulator which is its first running component.

A simple rapidly converging optimization routine for non saturated digital IC's is described. It yields the minimum delay for a given power dissipation per gate by varying easily controllable technological parameters. The basic gates of various circuit techniques are compared using this routine.

2 new and efficient methods of solution for the general non-linear programming problem: minimize F(x)=F(x1, x2,...xn) in the domain S:ai<;xi<;bi such that g(x)>;0, h(x)=0, have been implemented in the C.A.D. program ASTEC-3. As an illustration, we present the results we obtained in the D.C. operation optimization of a CMOS/SOS differential amplifier.
