“…Unfamiliar structures of circuit can enrich the candidates of desired circuits, which may find better results among them than that of familiar design. Based on various evolutionary algorithms, different works of automated circuit design have been proposed [6,8,13,31]. In Kruiskamp et al [6], applied Genetic Algorithms (GA) to solve CMOS opamp synthesis problem, where each individual in the population has a multi-gene chromosome that can be converted into a corresponding circuit by decoding it.…”

When applying evolutionary algorithms to circuit design automation, circuit representation is the first consideration. There have been several studies applying different circuit representations. However, they still have some problems, such as lack of design ability, which means the diversity of evolved circuits was limited by the circuit representation, and inefficient transformation from circuit representation into SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) netlist. In this paper, a novel tree-based circuit representation for analog circuits is proposed, which is equipped with an intuitive and three-terminal devices friendly mapping rule between circuit representation and SPICE netlist, as well as a suitable crossover operator. Based on the proposed representation, a framework for automated analog circuit design using genetic programming is proposed to evolve both the circuit topology and device values. Three benchmark circuits are applied to evaluate the proposed approach, showing that the proposed method is feasible and evolves analog circuits with better fitness and number of components while using less fitness evaluations than existing approaches. Furthermore, considering physical scalability limits of conventional circuit elements and the increased interest in emerging technologies, a memristor-based pulse generation circuit is also evolved based on the proposed method. The feasibility of the evolved circuits is verified by circuit simulation successfully. The experiment results show that the evolved memristive circuit is more compact and has better energy efficiency compared with existing manually-designed circuits.

“…Within this scope, adopting a suitable circuit topology is of foremost importance. 18,19 The present paper presents a circuit topology consisting in a planar array of resistive and capacitive elements with no single point of failure. The ordered structure of this array is similar to 2D structures with periodic blocks that have been used in materials science to study the properties of some types of metamaterials.…”

This paper proposes a novel one-port passive circuit topology consisting of a two-dimensional network of resistors and capacitors, which can be used as a fault-tolerant building block for analog circuit design. Through an analytical procedure, the network is shown to follow simple first-order admittance dynamics. A Monte Carlo method is employed to describe the effect of simultaneous faults (short or open circuit) in random network elements in terms of confidence bounds in the frequency-domain admittance profile. Faults in 10% of the elements resulted in only minor changes of the frequency response (up to 3.9 dB in magnitude and 12.5 ∘ in phase in 95% of the cases). An example is presented to illustrate the use of the proposed RC network in the faulttolerant design of a low-pass filter.
