A novel and useful method of migrating an analog or mixed signal electronic circuit from a source technology to a target technology. Devices operating in current mode and their respective voltage tuning nodes are first identified in the source technology electronic circuit. Since a device operating in current mode is less sensitive to the voltage applied to its voltage tuning node, the voltage at the voltage tuning node can be changed to achieve better current mode device performance without interfering with the biasing conditions of other devices in the circuit. This enables a circuit designer to fully exploit the two available degrees of freedom (typically width and length) when migrating the electronic device operating in current mode from a source technology to a target technology.
