Evolution by Means of Genetic Programming of Analog Circuits that Perform Digital Functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper demonstrates the ability of genetic programming to evolve analog circuits that perform digital functions and mixed analog-digital circuits. The evolved circuits include two purely digital circuits (a 100 nano-second NAND circuit and a two-instruction arithmetic logic unit circuit) and one mixed-signal circuit, namely a three-input digital-to-analog converter.

A Fast and Self-Repairing Genetic Programming Designer for Logic Circuits
Usually, important parameters in the design and implementation of combinational logic circuits are the number of gates, transistors, and the levels used in the design of the circuit. In this regard, various evolutionary paradigms with different competency have recently been introduced. However, while being advantageous, evolutionary paradigms also have some limitations including: a) lack of con...

The mixed-signal circuits with both analog and digital blocks on a single chip have wide applications in communication and RF circuits. Integrating these two blocks can cause serious problems especially in applications requiring fast digital circuits and high performance analog blocks. Fast switching in digital blocks generates a noise which can be introduced to analog circuits by the common su...
