White Paper – Automated Constraint Checks Enhance Analog Design Reliability

Analog designers use layout best practices to mitigate variation impact, but verification can be difficult, time-consuming, and prone to error. Automated layout checks can quickly find and accurately correct reliability issues, improving performance and product lifetime of the final product, reducing overall design time, and increasing designer productivity.


Many layout-dependent and operational environment variation effects that reduce reliability are subtle and hard to predict. Analog designers use layout best practices to mitigate variation impact, but verification can be difficult, time-consuming, and prone to error.

Automated layout checks can quickly find and accurately correct reliability issues, improving performance and product lifetime of the final product, reducing overall design time, and increasing designer productivity.

In this white paper, key areas include:

  • Analog constraint checking
  • Layout-dependent effects
  • Manufacturing and operational variation effects
  • Automated analog constraint checking
