A 65nm and 130nm CMOS Programmable Analog Standard Cell Library for Scalable System Synthesis

Analog IC design for analog computing requires a similar toolflow and synthesis as large-scale digital. Analog synthesis to custom IC design requires an analog standard cell library that builds upon the experience and synthesis of large-scale Field Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAA). This effort presents the first programmable analog standard cell library, where Floating-Gate (FG) devices in standard CMOS provide the high precision (e.g. 14bit) [1] programmability across multiple process nodes. A single library, developed in both 65nm CMOS and Skywater (open-source) 130nm CMOS, facilitates high-level synthesis [2], enabling the creation of versatile analog computing applications that are adaptable across various process nodes. Programmability is essential to have a moderate number of cells cover a wide space of analog computing and system design.
