Preface
Computational intelligence has been an astounding success in the engineering domain, particularly in electronic design. Over the last two decades, improved techniques have raised the productivity of designers to a remarkable degree. Indeed, in the areas of digital, analog, radio-frequency, and mixed-signal engineering, there is a focused effort on trying to automate all levels of the design flow of electronic circuits, a field where it was long assumed that progress demanded a skilled designer’s expertise. Thus, new computational-based modeling, synthesis and design methodologies, and applications of optimization algorithms have been proposed for assisting the designer’s task. This book offers the reader a collection of recent advances in computational intelligence—algorithms, design methodologies, and synthesis techniques—applied to the design of integrated circuits and systems. It highlights new biasing and sizing appr
