This paper reviews the results of recent researches aimed to extend the standard-cell based digital design flow to analog building blocks, so that to enhance scalability, reconfigurability and portability across technology nodes and to reduce design effort, time-to-market and costs. In this framework, the application of the proposed fully digital design approach to a wake up oscillator and to a Digital-to-Analog Converter, which are two building blocks widely employed in IoT sensor nodes, is illustrated in detail.
