Abstract
This paper presents an extension of ALADIN for approximately calculating the current density and heat distribution of analog circuits. The tools are integrated into the ALADIN package, which allows designers to create analog circuit layouts automatically. The optimization is speeded up and the reliability of the design is improved. The benefit of ALADIN is demonstrated with the design of a linear power amplifier with ±1.5V power supply.
