Explain Custom Design Flow?

Answer Posted / amar

Custom IC design requires if the circuit has to be designed to
meet the maximum possible performance requirements.

In this case the transistor parameters are tuned to meet the
required overall circuit performance

This kind of design methodology is specifically used
in analog design , mixed signals design and RF design
