A Novel Evolutionary Algorithm For Designing Robust Analog Filters, Shaobo Li, Wang Zou, Jianjun Hu Mar 2018

A Novel Evolutionary Algorithm For Designing Robust Analog Filters, Shaobo Li, Wang Zou, Jianjun Hu

Faculty Publications

Designing robust circuits that withstand environmental perturbation and device degradation is critical for many applications. Traditional robust circuit design is mainly done by tuning parameters to improve system robustness. However, the topological structure of a system may set a limit on the robustness achievable through parameter tuning. This paper proposes a new evolutionary algorithm for robust design that exploits the open-ended topological search capability of genetic programming (GP) coupled with bond graph modeling. We applied our GP-based robust design (GPRD) algorithm to evolve robust lowpass and highpass analog filters. Compared with a traditional robust design approach based on a state-of-the-art …


Electronically Tunable Grounded/Floating Inductance Simulators Using Z-Copy Cfccc, Alok Kumar Singh, Pragati Kumar, Raj Senani Jan 2018

Electronically Tunable Grounded/Floating Inductance Simulators Using Z-Copy Cfccc, Alok Kumar Singh, Pragati Kumar, Raj Senani

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, new electronically tunable grounded and floating inductance simulators employing a Z-copy current follower current controlled conveyor (CFCCC) and one grounded capacitor have been proposed and their workability has been demonstrated by PSPICE simulations in 0.18-$\mu $m TSMC CMOS technology.
