WATSON design space boundary exploration and model generation for analog and RFIC design.

WATSON design space boundary exploration and model generation for analog and RFIC design.

A new method is described which gives the designer access to the design space boundaries of a circuit topology, all with transistor-level accuracy. Using multiobjective genetic optimization, the hypersurface of Pareto-optimal design points is calculated. Tradeoff analysis of competing performances a...
