AMPSO-OADFM, incorporating the engine of Anasift's analog optimization tool AMPSO, is targeting at the optimization of analog design for manufacturability for all kinds of analog building circuits including opamps, analog buffers, comparators, voltage regulators, line drivers/receivers, trans-impedance amplifiers, and other analog building blocks, or the analog characteristics of small digital cells.

AMPSO-OADFM takes a SPICE netlist or AMPSO optimization file as input. It accepts typical SPICE model files. It can optimize analog designs to meet high performace design specifications across statistical variations of manufacture process corners to improve manufacturability and to insure high yield and accurate analog silicon implementation.

AMPSO-OADFM is the best of the kind analog optimization tool that aims to provide analog design optimization with better manufacturability and yield for delicate, high-performance analog building circuits. AMPSO-OADFM can optimize a high-performance analog amplifier design for better manufacturability used in a 8 bits 205MHz sample per second ADC in less than one day in one regular Intel CPU yet requiring no SPICE license.

DFM attracts much attention recently in the IC design industry yet current DFM topics are focused mainly on the digital ICs. However the facts that more than 75% of SOC designs are mixed-signal, and analog circuits are more sensitive to process variation and prone to produce defects of mixed-signal IC functions make people realize that the key problem in DFM of mixed-signal SOC shall be more in the analog part than in digital. AMPSO-OADFM provides the best industrial solution to the optimization of analog design for manufacturability as well as the optimization of analog circuit performances including speed, power consumption, die size, linearity, etc.
