Abstract:
1. A method for converting a process-specific schematic of an analog circuit to a process-independent schematic of the analog circuit, comprising: receiving a parameter value for a device parameter of an analog device defined in a process-specific schematic; for the device parameter: wherein the shadow device corresponds to both the analog device defined in the process-specific schematic and to another analog device defined in a different process-specific schematic; wherein the process-specific schematic and the different process-specific schematic are process-specific schematics for different process technologies; storing, in the process-independent schematic, a definition of the analog circuit; wherein the process-independent schema library contains a corresponding shadow parameter for one or more device parameters of one or more analog devices defined in the process-specific schematic; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
