The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

[D][P] Represent Analog Circuits as Graphs
I would suggest Verilog-to-routing as the best open source tool ive used that deals with abstract circuit representations on an FPGA or similar architecture. but tools like Align and Magical both accept circuit inputs as netlists and have to represent them internally for generating layout so might be easier to understand their approach depending on your familiarity with analog circuits. One more option is to look up OpenLane flow, its more an amalgamation of lots of tools but definitely also represents circuits as a graph for manipulation later on.

What's the best public FinFET PDK PDK?
Hi folks, I am looking for a FinFET PDK that's accessible publicly. The best one I can find is from ALIGN. There's a paper on FreePDK15 but it seems I can't access the website they mentioned. There's also ASAP7, but it seems they are lacking publicly available DRC and LVS. I requested more ASAP7 resources using my student email but haven't heard from them yet. Any tips on the available resource or how should I approach these ones I mentioned?
- Why automating analog layouts so difficult?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing MAGICAL and ALIGN-public you can also consider the following projects:
openlane - OpenLane is an automated RTL to GDSII flow based on several components including OpenROAD, Yosys, Magic, Netgen and custom methodology scripts for design exploration and optimization.
