Abstract
We introduce an automated circuit design system for
the evolution and subsequent invention of CMOS
amplifiers. The proposed system relies on a mix of
genetic programming and a new topology-independent
design optimization method referred to as current-flow
analysis. Genetic programming evolves new circuit
topologies from the collection of primitive devices and
basic building blocks. Current-flow analysis screens
and corrects circuits using topology-independent design
rules. Experimental results show a promising
improvement on the design of operational amplifiers
that make the automated analog design environment using
genetic programming a lot more practical.
