analog-hub

Dependency management tool for analog IC design repositories that enables selective import of IP libraries without copying entire repository structures.

Overview

analog-hub solves the problem of fragmented analog IP libraries by allowing selective import of specific libraries from repositories without copying unwanted boilerplate code.

Key Features

• Selective Library Import: Extract only the IP libraries you need
• Version Control: Pin to specific branches, tags, or commits
• License Tracking: Monitor license compliance across imported libraries
• Immutable Updates: Clean, deterministic library updates

Target Environment

Designed for open source IC toolchains, specifically the IIC-OSIC-TOOLS Docker container environment.
