Abstract : This paper presents a new open environment for the design of analog circuits exchanging information from existing tools. The main features of these tools have been extended in CONNAN by means of a netlist analyzer, the interaction with a commercial CAD tool and a transistor model manager that solves some common problems of sizing tools based on electrical simulators. As an initial test CONNAN is applied to the sizing of analog IC based on electrical simulators and simulated annealing algorithms.
