Abstract
Analog circuit design is significant and challenging. In this paper, we propose a group-crossover-based variable-length differential evolution (GVDE) for automatic synthesis of analog circuit. We present two experimental results obtained using the proposed GVDE, including a low-pass filter and an inverting amplifier. The results showed that GVDE is able to evolve with variable-length chromosome, which allows both the topology and sizing of analog circuit to be evolved. The proposed GVDE is an efficient algorithmic approach for automatic synthesis of analog circuit.
