Abstract - A hierarchical automated design flow for low-energy direct-mapped signal processing integrated circuits is presented.  A modular framework based on a combined Simulink and floor plan description drives automatic layout generation.  Automatic characterization of layout improves system-level estimates.  The flow is demonstrated on the subsystems of CDMA and OFDM receivers and a  300k transistor test-chip.
