The analog architect checks that the specification, performance budget and process selection are complete and traced before the AMS specification freeze.
MustThe AMS block specification is final, and every performance target is traced to a product requirement.
MustEvery target has conditions, limits and a method of measurement.
A target with no measurement method cannot be verified in simulation or on silicon.
ShouldTargets that exist only to add margin are marked as such.
MustThe performance budget shares noise, error, power and area between the sub-blocks and adds up to the totals.
MustThe budget reserve is stated and has an owner who decides how it is spent.
