Design Optimization of Analog Active Circuits Using the Genetic Algorithm
Journal Title: Acta Technica Napocensis- Electronica-Telecomunicatii (Electronics and Telecommunications) - Year 2012, Vol 53, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper presents an optimization tool for the design of analog circuits implemented with commercially-available discrete devices. It takes into consideration the standard values available for the passive components, as well as the nonidealities of commercially-available active devices. The multi-criteria optimization is based on a genetic algorithm developed in Matlab specifically for this task, that works in conjunction with components of the OrCAD package, namely the OrCAD CIS Capture and PSpice. The effectiveness of the proposed procedure is demonstrated by a real-life example, the optimized design of a fourth-order low-pass filter implemented with Operational Amplifiers and discrete resistors and capacitors.
