Generalized Methodology Application for System Design

Abstract

The design process for analogue circuit design is formulated on the basis of the optimum control theory. The artificially introduced special control vector is defined for the redistribution of computational costs between network analysis and parametric optimization. This redistribution minimizes computer time. The problem of the minimal-time network design can be formulated in this case as a classical problem of the optimal control for some functional minimization. There is a principal difference between the new approach and before elaborated methodology. This difference is based on a higher level of the problem generalization. In this case the structural basis of design strategies is more complete and this circumstance gives possibility to obtain a great value of computer time gain. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness and prospects of a more generalized approach to circuit optimization. This approach generalizes the design process and generates an infinite number of the different design strategies that will serve as the structural basis for the minimal time algorithm construction. This paper is advocated to electronic systems built with transistors. The main equations for the system design process were elaborated.
