One approach to analog system design problem formulation

摘要

The formulation of the process of analog system design has been done on the basis of the control theory application. This approach generalizes the design process and produces many different design trajectories inside the same optimization procedure. The problem of the optimal design algorithm construction is defined as the minimal time problem of the control theory. This idea was tested with different optimization procedures. Numerical results of some simple electronic circuit designs demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach. These examples show that the traditional design strategy is not time-optimal and the computer time gain of the optimal design strategy with respect to the traditional design strategy increases when the size and complexity of the system increase.
