Book excerpt: Practical Synthesis of High-Performance Analog Circuits presents a technique for automating the design of analog circuits. Market competition and the astounding pace of technological innovation exert tremendous pressure on circuit design engineers to turn ideas into products quickly and get them to market. In digital Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) design, computer aided design (CAD) tools have substantially eased this pressure by automating many of the laborious steps in the design process, thereby allowing the designer to maximise his design expertise. But the world is not solely digital. Cellular telephones, magnetic disk drives, neural networks and speech recognition systems are a few of the recent technological innovations that rely on a core of analog circuitry and exploit the density and performance of mixed analog/digital ASICs. To maximize profit, these mixed-signal ASICs must also make it to market as quickly as possible. However, although the engineer working on the digital portion of the ASIC can rely on sophisticated CAD tools to automate much of the design process, there is little help for the engineer working on the analog portion of the chip. With the exception of simulators to verify the circuit design when it is complete, there are almost no general purpose CAD tools that an analog design engineer can take advantage of to automate the analog design flow and reduce his time to market. Practical Synthesis of High-Performance Analog Circuits presents a new variation-tolerant analog synthesis strategy that is a significant step towards ending the wait for a practical analog synthesis tool. A new synthesis strategy is presented that can fully automate the path from a circuit topology and performance specifications to a sized variation-tolerant circuit schematic. This strategy relies on asymptotic waveform evaluation to predict circuit performance and simulated annealing to solve a novel non-linear infinite programming optimization formulation of the circuit synthesis problem via a sequence of smaller optimization problems. Practical Synthesis of High-Performance Analog Circuits will be of interest to analog circuit designers, CAD/EDA industry professionals, academics and students.

Ten years ago, analog seemed to be a dead-end technology. Today, System-on-Chip (SoC) designs are increasingly mixed-signal designs. With the advent of application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) technologies that can integrate both analog and digital functions on a single chip, analog has become more crucial than ever to the design process. Today, designers are moving beyond hand-crafted, one-transistor-at-a-time methods. They are using new circuit and physical synthesis tools to design practical analog circuits; new modeling and analysis tools to allow rapid exploration of system level alternatives; and new simulation tools to provide accurate answers for analog circuit behaviors and interactions that were considered impossible to handle only a few years ago. To give circuit designers and CAD professionals a better understanding of the history and the current state of the art in the field, this volume collects in one place the essential set of analog CAD papers that form the foundation of today's new analog design automation tools. Areas covered are: * Analog synthesis * Symbolic analysis * Analog layout * Analog modeling and analysis * Specialized analog simulation * Circuit centering and yield optimization * Circuit testing Computer-Aided Design of Analog Integrated Circuits and Systems is the cutting-edge reference that will be an invaluable resource for every semiconductor circuit designer and CAD professional who hopes to break the analog design bottleneck.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differential evolution is a very simple but very powerful stochastic optimizer. Since its inception, it has proved very efficient and robust in function optimization and has been applied to solve problems in many scientific and engineering fields. In Differential Evolution , Dr. Qing begins with an overview of optimization, followed by a state-of-the-art review of differential evolution, including its fundamentals and up-to-date advances. He goes on to explore the relationship between differential evolution strategies, intrinsic control parameters, non-intrinsic control parameters, and problem features through a parametric study. Findings and recommendations on the selection of strategies and intrinsic control parameter values are presented. Lastly, after an introductory review of reported applications in electrical and electronic engineering fields, different research groups demonstrate how the methods can be applied to such areas as: multicast routing, multisite mapping in grid environments, antenna arrays, analog electric circuit sizing, electricity markets, stochastic tracking in video sequences, and color quantization. Contains a systematic and comprehensive overview of differential evolution Reviews the latest differential evolution research Describes a comprehensive parametric study conducted over a large test bed Shows how methods can be practically applied to mobile communications grid computing circuits image processing power engineering Sample applications demonstrated by research groups in the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, Turkey, China, and Eastern Europe Provides access to companion website with code examples for download Differential Evolution is ideal for application engineers, who can use the methods described to solve specific engineering problems. It is also a valuable reference for post-graduates and researchers working in evolutionary computation, design optimization and artificial intelligence. Researchers in the optimization field or engineers and managers involved in operations research will also find the book a helpful introduction to the topic.

This book was released on 2009-07-13 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes new tools for front end analog designers, starting with global variation-aware sizing, and extending to novel variation-aware topology design. The tools aid design through automation, but more importantly, they also aid designer insight through automation. We now describe four design tasks, each more general than the previous, and how this book contributes design aids and insight aids to each. The ?rst designer task targeted is global robust sizing. This task is supported by a design tool that does automated, globally reliable, variation-aware s- ing (SANGRIA),and an insight-aiding tool that extracts designer-interpretable whitebox models that relate sizings to circuit performance (CAFFEINE). SANGRIA searches on several levels of problem dif?culty simultaneously, from lower cheap-to-evaluate “exploration” layers to higher full-evaluation “exploitation” layers (structural homotopy). SANGRIAmakes maximal use of circuit simulations by performing scalable data mining on simulation results to choose new candidate designs. CAFFEINE accomplishes its task by tre- ing function induction as a tree-search problem. It constrains its tree search space via a canonical-functional-form grammar, and searches the space with grammatically constrained genetic programming. The second designer task is topology selection/topology design. Topology selection tools must consider a broad variety of topologies such that an app- priate topology is selected, must easily adapt to new semiconductor process nodes, and readily incorporate new topologies. Topology design tools must allow designers to creatively explore new topology ideas as rapidly as possible.

Book excerpt: Editor Biography: Esteban Tlelo-Cuautle received a B.Sc. degree from Instituto Tecnol�gico de Puebla (ITP), M�xico in 1993. He then received both M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Instituto Nacional de Astrof�sica, �ptica y Electr�nica (INAOE), M�xico, in 1995 and 2000, respectively. He has published 13 books and more than 250 works in book chapters, journals and conferences. He is an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers, and Integration - the VLSI Journal. His research interests include modeling and simulation of circuits and systems, design and applications of chaotic oscillators, symbolic analysis, multi-objective evolutionary algorithms, and analogue/radio frequency (RF) and mixed-signal design automation tools. Book Description: This book includes recent research that focuses on analog integrated circuits and covers three main topics, namely: fundamentals, synthesis and performance. Eleven chapters are divided among these three topics as follows: Chapters One to Four are a part of fundamentals. The first chapter ("The Next Generation of Nanomaterials for Designing Analog Integrated Circuits") describes new directions for applying nanomaterials for the design of modern analog circuits. Chapter Two ("Application of Nullors in Designing Analog Circuits for Frequency Bandwidth") uses the pathological circuit element known as a nullor to design analog integrated circuits with frequency specifications to accomplish a desired bandwidth. Chapter Three ("RC and RL to LC Circuit Conversion, and its Application in Poles and Zeros Identification") details an important property from circuit theory to estimate roots by performing conversions of passive elements. Chapter Four ("Enhanced and Improved Symbolic Circuit Analysis Using MATLAB") relays the development of symbolic circuit analysis and focuses on enhancing an already developed symbolic tool to allow the symbolic analysis of large circuits. The synthesis of analog integrated circuits has been a challenge because there is no way to establish general rules to cover the gap between the behavioral and transistor circuit levels of abstraction. In this book, the second topic includes four chapters, from Five to Eight. Chapter Five ("On the Synthesis of Sinusoidal Oscillators Using Nullors"), just as in Chapter Two, uses the pathological circuit element known as a nullor to perform the synthesis of sinusoidal oscillators, which are quite useful in many electronic systems. Other kinds of oscillators are described in Chapter Six ("Synthesis of SRCOs and Multi-Phase Oscillators from State Variables to their Implementation Using CMOS IC Technology") where the synthesis process identifies the resistor that controls the oscillating frequency and applies a state variable approach. Chapter Seven ("Evolutionary Optimization in the Design of CMOS Analog Integrated Circuits") shows the application of heuristics for circuit optimization, and how it can be extended to bigger analog integrated circuits. Chapter Eight provides details on the synthesis and design of a CMOS harmonic mixer with output power management for narrowband and wideband wireless communications: the Bluetooth and UWB cases. The third part of this book is devoted to analog circuit performances and includes three chapters. Chapter Nine details the FPGA realization of radio frequency (RF) power amplifier models. In this case, the system is modeled in the analog domain and implemented in the digital one. Chapter Ten "White-Box Models of Optimal-Sized Solutions of Analog Integrated Circuits") generates analytical expressions for modeling the dominant behavior of CMOS analog circuits. Finally, Chapter Eleven ("Radial Basis Function Surrogate Modeling for the Accurate Design of Analog Circuits") applies modern modeling approaches to accomplish real target specifications and to improve the design of reliable circuits. Target Audience: Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Integrated Circuits Designers, Electronic Design Automation Developers
