Using Artificial Neural Networks for Analog Integrated Circuit Design Automation
This book addresses the automatic sizing and layout of analog integrated circuits (ICs) using deep learning (DL) and artificial neural networks (ANN). It explores an innovative approach to automatic circuit sizing where ANNs learn patterns from previously optimized design solutions. In opposition to classical optimization-based sizing strategies, where computational intelligence techniques are used to iterate over the map from devices’ sizes to circuits’ performances provided by design equations or circuit simulations, ANNs are shown to be capable of solving analog IC sizing as a direct map from specifications to the devices’ sizes. Two separate ANN architectures are proposed: a Regres...
Generating Analog IC Layouts with LAYGEN II
This book presents an innovative methodology for the automatic generation of analog integrated circuits (ICs) layout, based on template descriptions and on evolutionary computational techniques. A design automation tool, LAYGEN II was implemented to validate the proposed approach giving special emphasis to reusability of expert design knowledge and to efficiency on retargeting operations.
Speeding-Up Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuit Sizing with Neural Networks
In this book, innovative research using artificial neural networks (ANNs) is conducted to automate the sizing task of RF IC design, which is used in two different steps of the automatic design process. The advances in telecommunications, such as the 5th generation broadband or 5G for short, open doors to advances in areas such as health care, education, resource management, transportation, agriculture and many other areas. Consequently, there is high pressure in today’s market for significant communication rates, extensive bandwidths and ultralow-power consumption. This is where radiofrequency (RF) integrated circuits (ICs) come in hand, playing a crucial role. This demand stresses out the...
Electronic Design Automation of Analog ICs combining Gradient Models with Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms
This book applies to the scientific area of electronic design automation (EDA) and addresses the automatic sizing of analog integrated circuits (ICs). Particularly, this book presents an approach to enhance a state-of-the-art layout-aware circuit-level optimizer (GENOM-POF), by embedding statistical knowledge from an automatically generated gradient model into the multi-objective multi-constraint optimization kernel based on the NSGA-II algorithm. The results showed allow the designer to explore the different trade-offs of the solution space, both through the achieved device sizes, or the respective layout solutions.
Women, Migration & the Cashew Economy in Southern Mozambique 1945-1975
Analyses the lives and livelihoods of the female cashew shellers in Mozambique's capital in the colonial era, during which the industry grew to be a major export, and relates how the women played a fundamental, but previously underappreciated, role in the colony's economy.
Diplomatário da Sé de Viseu (1078-1278)
Publicação de perto de quatrocentos documentos avulsos, organizados cronologicamente e com datas compreendidas entre os anos de 1078 e de 1278, provenientes do primitivo arquivo da Sé de Viseu, hoje disperso. Para além da sua transcrição paleográfica, contém os respetivos sumários, aparato crítico e abundantes notas. Como a própria designação de Diplomatário faz ressaltar, abrange um diversificado número de diplomas de natureza e origem muito diversa — testamentos, doações, compras/vendas, inventários e pleitos; pontifícios, régios, episcopais, capitulares e particulares — cuja importância se torna maior, em virtude de terem sido consumidos pelo fogo em Viseu, em 184...
