Abstract:This paper proposes a methodology based on machine learning to find apparent causal relations between performance targets and design variables in analog circuits. Diversified filtering and wrapping variable selection algorithms are utilized to construct a causal graph that identifies the major circuit design parameters that can be used to optimize the performance of analog circuits. Based on the constructed causal graph, a sequence of design procedures can be extracted and followed to optimize the performance … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
