A Circuit Representation Hierarchy Technique and Probabilistic Models for Evolutionary Analog Circuit Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The approach to computer aided hierarchical circuit design on the base of univariate algorithms was derived by the analysing the mathematical principles behind recombination. In this paper it is considered how to introduce mutation in this approach. A number of experiments applied to circuit design are discussed. Experiments indicate that mutation and elitism increase the performance of the algorithms and decrease the dependence on the correct choice of the population size.

متن کاملA circuit representation technique for automated circuit design
We present a method of automatically generating circuit designs using evolutionary search and a set of circuit-constructing primitives arranged in a linear sequence. This representation has the desirable property that virtually all sets of circuit-constructing primitives result in valid circuit graphs. While this representation excludes certain circuit topologies, it is capable of generating a ...

Evolutionary algorithms (EA) offer good promise for automated design of analog circuits as well as for adaptation and automatic reconfiguration of programmable devices. In particular, EAs faciitate the design of analog Circuits for very specific requirements, such as those related to the implementation of fuzzy operators, or even of complete fuzzy systems. The paper starts with a brief overview...
متن کاملLook up Table Based Low Power Analog Circuit Testing
In this paper, a method of low power analog testing is proposed. In spite of having Oscillation Based Built in Self-Test methodology (OBIST), a look up table based (LUT) low power testing approach has been proposed to find out the faulty circuit and also to sort out the particular fault location in the circuit. In this paper an operational amplifier, which is the basic building block in the ana...
متن کاملA New Analog-based LO Harmonic Rejection Technique with Tunable Notch Frequency
An effective technique for mixer LO harmonic rejection in a SAW-less wideband receiver front-end is proposed. The proposed technique provides a tunable notch that can be placed at any frequency like mixer LO harmonics, to avoid the aliasing in baseband after mixing. An analog LC notch is used in a cascode transconductor, and it can reject one of the 3rd or 5th harmonics. T...
