Abstract

This paper proposes a new algorithm which promotes well distributed non-dominated fronts in the parameters space when a single-objective function is optimized. This lgorithm is based on µ-dominance concept and maxmin sorting scheme. Besides that, the paper also presents the results of the algorithm when it is used in the automated synthesis of optimum performance CMOS radio-frequency and microwave binary-weighted differential switched capacitor arrays (RFDSCAs). The genetic synthesis tool optimizes a fitness function which is based on the performance parameter of the RFDSCAs. To validate the proposed design methodology, a CMOS RFDSCA is synthesized, using a 0.25 ¼m BiCMOS technology.
