A Method In CMOS Analog Circuit Optimization By Genetic Algorithm

A new method based on adaptive GA (genetic algorithm) and manual experience for sizing and optimizing the CMOS analog circuits is presented in this paper. In the method the simulation tool is called to produce the fitness of every circuit in a population. According to the evaluation of the fitness we can choose the better circuits. By adjusting the sizes of the transistor through GA and restric...

Structural Cell-based VLSI Circuit Design using a Genetic Algorithm

A technique for the structural synthesis of VLSI circuits is presented. The technique uses a Genetic Algorithm which utilises a library of devices for the synthesis procedure which proved successful in searching a highly complex space of structures by producing designs which satisfy a multiple output circuit criteria which, in addition to satisfying the functionality constraint for each of the ...

Automated Analog Circuit Design Synthesis Using A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm with Hyper- Mutation and Elitist Strategies

Analog circuits are of great importance in electronic system design. Analog circuit design consists of circuit topology design and component values design. These two aspects are both essential to computer aided analog circuit evolving. However, Traditional GA is not very efficient in evolving circuit component’s values. This paper proposed a hybrid algorithm HME-GA (GA with hypermutation and el...

A Design Path for Optimization-based Analog Circuit Design

In this paper we propose a design path for optimization-based device sizing of analog circuits. The design path offers an efficient and reliable way to implement high-performance analog integrated circuits without the explicit knowledge of an experienced designer. A key feature is that the partial cost functions are generated directly from the circuit topology. To demonstrate the functionality ...
