چکیده
This paper explores whether analog circuitry can adequately perform constrained optimization. Constrained optimization circuits are designed using the differential multiplier method. These circuits fulfill time-varying constraints correctly. Example circuits include a quadratic programming circuit and a constrained flip-flop.

Constrained Optimization Applied to the Parameter Setting Problem for Analog Circuits
We use constrained optimization to select operating parameters for two circuits: a simple 3-transistor square root circuit, and an analog VLSI artificial cochlea. This automated method uses computer controlled measurement and test equipment to choose chip parameters which minimize the difference between the actual circuit's behavior and a specified goal behavior. Choosing the proper circuit par...
