Abstract:This article presents the SANN-GCE algorithm, a spice simulation driven meta-heuristic to design general discrete analog electronic circuits automatically, both circuit topology and component sizing. We introduce an encoding scheme called Geometric Circuit Evolution (GCE) that works associated with the Simulated Annealing algorithm and uses categorized degrees of freedom, that allows distinct characteristics of a circuit to change with different probabilities according to its type during the circuit evolution.… Show more
