Abstract: Disclosed is an improved approach to implement analog or mixed-signal designs. A method, system, and computer program product are provided to fully automate the analog placement step using a virtual grouping methodology which considers variable components and uses a genetic placement algorithm to find the best placement solution which fully respects the analog constraints defined by a user or auto identified by a tool.
