This paper presents an overview of sizing tasks in electronic circuit design and their corresponding formulations as optimization problems. We will start with the general multi-objective sizing problem. Then, the inclusion of statistically distributed parameters and of range-valued parameters into the scalar problems of yield optimization and design centering will be described. Finally, a problem formulation for considering these parameter tolerances by multi-objective Pareto optimization will be presented.
