An evolutionary platform for developing next-generation electronic circuits
James A. Hilder, Andy M. Tyrrell · 2007
In this paper, a new method for evolving simple electronic circuits is discussed, with the aim of improving the reliability and performance of basic circuit blocks. Next-generation CMOS device models will be used in the simulation of circuits. Circuits are mapped to a grid layout which reflects the appearance of conventional schematic blocks. The performance of the system at designing passive low-pass filters is discussed, with an outline given of the intended future steps, towards the goal of integrating sub 100 nm MOSFET models into the circuits.
