Abstract

Analog circuit sizing has strongly focused on the optimization of nominal performance and of the yield in the past. Recently, more topics in analog sizing have come up. These are Pareto optimization, optimization with discrete parameter values and consideration of aging effects in addition to manufacturing and operating tolerances. This contribution will illustrate these tasks and give problem formulations and solution approaches.
