Constrained low-power CMOS analog circuit design via all-inversion region MOS model

In this paper we furnish a novel approach of design automation and power optimization of CMOS analog integrated circuits. This method offers an effective amalgamation between the principles of orthogonal-convex optimization and the all-inversion region MOS transistor model. The design equations, emerging from various device and circuit specifications can be modeled as the constraints of an orthogonal-convex optimization problem and can be evaluated automatically to ensure a globally optimal solution over a range of design scenarios.
