This paper presents an exploration procedure for
mapping given functional specifications of an analog system
to the specification parameters of individual component blocks
of the system topology. A meet-in-the-middle approach has
been followed for constructing the feasible design space. It is
constructed as the intersection of an application bounded spec-
ification space and a circuit realizable specification space. Least
squares support vector machine principle is used to accurately
identify the actual geometry of the feasible design space. The
reduced design space speeds up the exploration procedure. The
benefit of our methodology is the ability to obtain practically
correct circuit-level specifications of the component blocks of
the system in a single pass. The effectiveness of the procedure
has been demonstrated by considering a complete system. The
simulation results satisfy the desired specifications of the system,
validating the overall procedure.
