Abstract: One of the principal problems for
designing of large electronic circuit is the problem of
significant reducing of processor time for parametric
circuit optimization. The solution of this problem can
be obtained by means of a generalized approach to the
process of optimization of electronic circuits. The
generalized methodology of circuit optimization can be
constructed on the basis of theory of control. In this
case a special vector of control serves as a principal
tool to redistributing the computer expenses between
circuit analysis and the procedure of parametric
optimization. The optimization of analog circuit is
formulated in this case as a controllable dynamic
system. The optimal structure of the vector of control
gives the minimal-time algorithm of circuit
optimization. The optimal sequence of switching points
of the vector of control solves the problem of
minimal-time algorithm construction. The conception of
the Lyapunov function of the process of optimization
serves as one of the productive ideas to study the main
properties of the time-optimal algorithm. Stability
analysis of each strategy of designing based on
Lyapunov's direct method revealed a strong correlation
between the time of designing and the main indicators of
the design process, namely the Lyapunov function and its
time derivative. This function gives us the possibility
to separate the perspective strategies for the
optimization of circuits. Analysis of behavior of the
Lyapunov function during the optimization process shows
a strong correlation between some characteristics of
this function and a processor time. The strategies that
have the greatest absolute value of the time derivative
of Lyapunov function on the initial phase of the
trajectory of optimization exhibit the greatest
stability and have the least CPU time. This property is
the basis for the constructing a minimal-time algorithm
of designing. This algorithm provides gain of processor
time in hundreds and thousands times as compared to the
traditional approach.
