Abstract

Methodology of designing analogue circuits developed earlier on the basis of using optimal control theory is generalized in order to form a more complete structure base for various design strategies. It leads to significant increase of possible design strategies and, thus, to introduction of more perspective strategies allowing further decreasing the circuit optimization time. Numerical results show the possibility of significantly shortening processor time required for circuit optimization.
