Metaheuristic Techniques for the Analog Circuits Performances Optimization -A Comparison Issue-
Author:
Abstract: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Simulated Annealing (SA) are mostly used as metaheuristic for electronic circuit’s performances optimization. Despite their different research techniques, these methods achieve the optimal solution for analog circuit design. The aim of this paper is to make a comparison between the performances reached by those four techniques in the optimal sizing of a CMOS second generation current conveyor (CCII) and an operational amplifier (Op-Amp). The highlighted results obtained by the used algorithms, will be compared in terms of optimum quality, convergence rate and the computing time.
