Abstract
This chapter presents the main aspects and implications of design optimization of electronic circuits using a general purpose single objective optimization approach based on the brainstorming process, which is referred as StormOptimus. The single objective optimization framework is utilized for sizing of four amplifiers, and one VLSI power grid circuit. During optimization, the problem specific information required for each circuit is kept to minimal, which consists of input specifications, design parameter ranges and a fitness function that represents the circuit’s desired behavior. Several experiments are performed on these circuits to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. It is observed that a satisfactory design is achieved for each of the five circuits by using the proposed single objective optimization framework.
