Abstract:

Analog circuits synthesis is very challenging. Much progression has been made in automating analog circuit synthesis using optimization algorithms. In this paper, a particular optimization algorithm that has been applied to the task of automating analog circuit synthesis is carried out which based on the Genetic Algorithm(GA). This paper will give an aspect view on how genetic algorithms have been developed and used for the synthesis of analog circuit.

I. Introduction

The genetic algorithm is one of many techniques used to find appropriate solutions for optimization problems. The GA tries to mimic the process of biological evolution where, over successive generations, individuals who are best suited to survive in an environment live on and reproduce, while other individuals die off [1]. Eventually, over many generations, the population has been optimized and only individuals who are suited to the environment live on. The GA tries to generate a viable solution to a problem through the successive evolution of substandard solutions.
