Summary:
This paper concerns a design methodology for analog circuit problems, which is based on formulating the problem as a multi-objective geometric program (GP). Multiple objectives are combined into a scalar objective thru certain convex functions and thus can be solved using regular GP algorithms. In contrast to single-objective optimization, simultaneous consideration of all objectives yields a compromising solution among objectives. By varying individual objective’s weight factor, a Pareto (or trade-off) curve can be constructed, providing designers with a useful decision-making information.
