Designing analog integrated circuits (ICs) is very time-consuming, requiring manual tweaking of transistor parameters and thousands of simulations. This process takes hours to weeks for a single analog block, and with hundreds of blocks in an IC, it can extend to years.

At OptIC we create optimization algorithms that determine the best outcome for analog circuits with minimal iterations. Our solution completes designs in just tens of simulations, making it on average 38 times faster than current solutions. This reduces the design time for each block to minutes, saving hours of work.
