Its main contribution is a comprehensive hierarchical performance equation library (HPEL) for op-amps. The HPEL makes the set-up of design equations independent of the topology. Based on the library and the functional block recognition method in [1], analytical performance models for various op-amp topologies are automatically instantiated. The method is currently designed for basic op-amps. In this paper, we use the method to size different op-amp topologies. Experimental results featuring four circuits are presented. The HPEL has also been integrated into a structural synthesis method featuring several thousand op-amp topologies [2].","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.09088v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2012.09088v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-hierarchical-performance-equation-library","repo_url":"https://github.com/inga000/acst","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
