Abstract
The synthesis of CMOS operational amplifier (Op-Amp) can be translated into a constrained multi-objective optimization problem, in which a large number of specifications have to be taken into account, i.e., gain, unity gain-bandwidth (GBW), slew-rate (SR), common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and bias conditions. A constraint handling strategy without penalty parameters for multi-objective optimization algorithm is proposed. A standard operational amplifier is then designed, the results show the proposed methodology is very effective and can obtain better specifications than other methods.
