Abstract

The generalized methodology developed earlier for analog circuits design and based on applying the optimal control theory is the basis for developing an optimal or quasi-optimal design algorithm. In this context the most crucial criterion making it possible to find the required structure of algorithm is the behavior of the Lyapunov function determined for circuit optimization process. Characteristics of the Lyapunov function and its derivative form the basis of search for the optimal structure of control vector which, in turn, determines the algorithm structure. A functional block diagram of the quasi-optimal algorithm implementing the main ideas of the earlier developed methodology has been built, and the main characteristics of this algorithm were determined in comparison with the traditional approach and with quasi-optimal design strategy.
