Digital circuit design is extensively assisted by modern automation tool unlike analog design which is still a manual task because of the complexity of the interactions between devices. This paper presents a semi-automated analog placement based on margin tolerances controlled by the designer by creating analog circuits organized in row similar to digital circuits structure. The results show the ability of our tool at generating multiple layouts respecting designer's constraints.
