 <p><strong>Analog design</strong> often starts with an application description comprising target requirements for the functionality, the physical appearance, the performance quality, and the cost factors of the desired product. The analog circuit designer somehow has to convert this into a chip or a PCA (printed Circuit board Assembly) with a test plan that makes it possible to verify performance to requirements.</p>
 <p><strong>Circuit simulators</strong> and PCB or chip layout software are commonly at the disposal of analog design engineers to help them fullfill their tasks. Circuit simulators (such as SPICE), however, can only perform numeric design verification. Hence, the topology and the devices with their geometries and operating conditions need to be designed before simulation.</p>
