Multi-objective Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization and its Application to Analog and RF Circuit Optimization

Deepak Joshi et al.

Summary: This paper presents a hybrid multi-objective optimization framework (MHPSO) that combines particle swarm optimization and simulated annealing. The framework aims to preserve nondominated solutions in an external archive by dividing the search space into sub-spaces and optimizing solutions using simulated annealing. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is demonstrated for electronic circuits and test functions, and compared with standard multi-objective evolutionary algorithms.

An Analog Circuit Building Block Generator via Nested Multi-Fidelity Modeling

Jiangli Huang et al.

Summary: In this paper, a analog circuit building block generator composed of a layout-aware analog circuit sizing scheme and an automated analog circuit layout generator is proposed. The analog circuit sizing problem is reformulated as a constrained multi-objective optimization problem and a multi-objective Bayesian optimization scheme is proposed to find multiple qualified designs. A nested multi-fidelity Bayesian optimization method is used in layout-aware sizing to balance schematic-level simulation and expensive post-layout simulation without losing efficiency. The automated layout generator enables in-loop layout generation to directly find a set of valid post-layout results. Experimental results on three real-world analog circuits demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.

Joint Optimization of Sizing and Layout for AMS Designs: Challenges and Opportunities

Ahmet F. Budak et al.

Summary: Recent advances in automatic schematic design have shown promising results. However, most existing algorithms do not consider the impact of physical layout on circuit performance. This paper proposes a method to bridge automatic sizing with post-layout performance using optimization-based layout generators. A quantitative study is conducted to evaluate the impact of layout awareness on device sizing algorithms.

Transfer Learning for Reuse of Analog Circuit Sizing Models Across Technology Nodes

Zhengfeng Wu et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a transfer learning technique that utilizes models trained in one technology node to predict the performance of a circuit in another technology node based on transistor sizing. By retraining some layers of the pre-trained models with significantly less data, this technique improves the sample efficiency of neural network training and reduces the mean absolute error in testing.
