In this paper, we describe an analog leaf cell (ALC) that was created to facilitate teaching analog circuit design to senior/graduate EE. It is intended as a teaching tool to introduce the student to the design, fabrication and test cycle in a simple yet complete manner. The ALC is a sea-of-gates semi-custom IC design approach that reduces design and fabrication time.
