Automatic Constraint Transformation with Integrated Parameter Space Exploration in Analog System Synthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a constraint transformation and topology selection methodology that explores the system level parameter space to compute acceptable regions in the component parameter space. The search process of an underlying circuit synthesis tool could be con ned to these regions of valid solutions. Experimental results showing the impact of parameter space exploration at a higher level on analog circuit synthesis are presented, demonstrating the e ectiveness of this technique.

متن کاملA Hybrid Meta-heuristic Approach to Cope with State Space Explosion in Model Checking Technique for Deadlock Freeness
Model checking is an automatic technique for software verification through which all reachable states are generated from an initial state to finding errors and desirable patterns. In the model checking approach, the behavior and structure of system should be modeled. Graph transformation system is a graphical formal modeling language to specify and model the system. However, modeling of large s...
