Study of the Dynamic Characteristics of Some Circuit Optimization Strategies
Author:
Abstract: The work explores the possibility of a significant reduction in processor time required to optimize analog circuits. For this, we can reformulate and generalize the problem of chain optimization based on the approaches of optimal control theory. The analog circuit design process is formulated as a dynamic controlled system. A special control vector has been defined to redistribute the computational cost between circuit analysis and parametric optimization. This redistribution significantly reduces CPU time. The task of designing a circuit for the minimum processor time can be formulated as a classical optimal control problem while minimizing some functional. The introduction of the concept of the Lyapunov function of a controlled dynamic system made it possible to use it to analyse the main characteristics of the design process. An analysis of the behaviour of a special function, which is a combination of the Lyapunov function and its time derivative, made it possible to compare various design strategies and select the best ones that are executed in minimal CPU time.
