Worst-Case Optimization of a Digital Link for Wearable Electronics in a Stochastic Framework

This paper demonstrates an optimization strategy for systems affected by uncertainties in the case of a textile interconnect line. Rather than simply conducting stochastic analysis at the end of the design process, tolerances are accounted for from the early stages of the flow. An unsupervised approach, used to describe the stochastic behavior of the line, is integrated within a heuristic optimization algorithm with the aim of selecting the optimal parameters of a passive equalizer.
