A Framework for Analog Circuit Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
This thesis presents a system for optimization of analog circuit topologies and component values. The topology is optimized using simulated annealing, while the component values are optimized using gradient descent. Local minima are avoided and constraints are kept through the use of coordinate transformations, as well as the use of default starting points for component values. The system is targeted for use in 3D integrated circuit design. The architecture is extendable, and is designed to eventually include capabilities for automated layout and mixed-signal design.

متن کاملImproving adaptive resolution of analog to digital converters using least squares mean method
This paper presents an adaptive digital resolution improvement method for extrapolating and recursive analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The presented adaptively enhanced ADC (AE-ADC) digitally estimates the digital equivalent of the input signal by utilizing an adaptive digital filter (ADF). The least mean squares (LMS) algorithm also determines the coefficients of the ADF block. In this sch...

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...
