Applications of evolutionary computation techniques to analog, mixed-signal and RF circuit design - an overview

Trabajo presentado al 16th ICECS celebrado en Yasmine Hammamet (Túnez) del 13 al 16 de diciembre de 2009.This paper reviews the application of evolutionary computation techniques to analog, mixed-signal and radio-frequency design problems. Design needs, limitations of existing approaches and open challenges are pointed out.This work has been supported in part by the TIC-2532 Project, funded by Consejería de Innovación, Ciencia y Empresa, Junta de Andalucía, and in part by the Project TEC2007-67247/MIC funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation with support from ERDF.Peer Reviewe
