The switched current circuit technique allows mixed-signal integrated circuits including data-converters and filters to be fabricated in a conventional CMOS process. ASIMOV, described in this paper, is a computer-aided design tool to support the systematic design of such circuits. It is capable of topology selection and sizing of current memory cells from a set of user specifications, Analytical models, coupled with numerical optimization guided by a heuristic rule-base, are used for fast response time. Models for the most commonly used cells are implemented
