One-For-All

A Graphical Parametric Analog Design Flow

What is it?

One-For-All - is a VSCode extension designed to enable easy open-source analog tapeouts.

It achieves this by rejecting the typical Schematic ↔ Layout design loop in favor of a "Layout-As-Schematic" approach with a single graphical "layout-abstracted schematic".

In this way, analog IC design becomes a gradually more difficult verification problem in a single GUI with simulations, DRC and PEX which challenge verification test-cases defined by the engineer with no explicit schematic with which to compare their layout against.

We call this philosophy "Post-Modern Analog Design" (P-MAD) as it discards "the source of truth" schematic design band-aid and forces the engineer to confront integrated circuit realities immediately but does so in a way that is incremental, intuitive, and fun (well, at least we think so).

How do I use it?

Well, it's a VSCode Extension - so just download it in the Extension Manager :)

If you're nerd 🤓 who wants to work on source, just fork this repo, the .vscode contains a debug script that will build and do everything for ya, plug in some new features and see if you can run the gauntlet of my review process.

Nerds 🤓 would also be wise to note this is the VSCode Extension repo and PDK repo's with all the fun per-process DRC/Simulation Generation/Parametric Layout/PEX are provided in independent ofa-[PDK] repos which are downloaded by the VSCode Extension.
