This paper presents a genetic based decoupled optimal design method for power electronics circuit design using an adaptive collaboration approach in a cooperative coevolutionary environment. The circuit parameters of the power conversion stage and the feedback network of a buck regulator are optimized through two parallel coadaptive genetic based optimization processes. The best candidate of the tunable parameters in one evolutionary process for the design of the power conversion stage is merged to the other evolutionary process for the design of the feedback network as untunable factors through a collaboration controller in which the collaboration strategy is adaptively controlled by a first-order projection of the maximum and minimum bounds of the fitness value of the genes representing the circuit design parameters in each generation. The proposed design methodology is suitable for parallel computation resulting in considerable improvement in searching efficiency. Simulated results of the design of a buck regulator with the proposed approach were verified with experimental results from the actual hardware implementation. It showed that the design with the proposed scheme was compatible with the design specification. 相似文献

A three-step decomposition method for the evolutionary design of sequential logic circuits 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Evolvable hardware (EHW) refers to an automatic circuit design approach, which employs evolutionary algorithms (EAs) to generate
the configurations of the programmable devices. The scalability is one of the main obstacles preventing EHW from being applied
to real-world applications. Several techniques have been proposed to overcome the scalability problem. One of them is to decompose
the whole circuit into several small evolvable sub-circuits. However, current techniques for scalability are mainly used to
evolve combinational logic circuits. In this paper, in order to decompose a sequential logic circuit, the state decomposition,
output decomposition and input decomposition are united as a three-step decomposition method (3SD). A novel extrinsic EHW
system, namely 3SD–ES, which combines the 3SD method with the (μ, λ) ES (evolution strategy), is proposed, and is used for the evolutionary designing of larger sequential logic circuits. The
proposed extrinsic EHW system is tested extensively on sequential logic circuits taken from the Microelectronics Center of
North Carolina (MCNC) benchmark library. The results demonstrate that 3SD–ES has much better performance in terms of scalability.
It enables the evolutionary designing of larger sequential circuits than have ever been evolved before. 相似文献

Evolvable hardware (EHW) refers to self-reconfiguration hardware design, where the configuration is under the control of an evolutionary algorithm (EA). One of the main difficulties in using EHW to solve real-world problems is scalability, which limits the size of the circuit that may be evolved. This paper outlines a new type of decomposition strategy for EHW, the "generalized disjunction decomposition" (GDD), which allows the evolution of large circuits. The proposed method has been extensively tested, not only with multipliers and parity bit problems traditionally used in the EHW community, but also with logic circuits taken from the Microelectronics Center of North Carolina (MCNC) benchmark library and randomly generated circuits. In order to achieve statistically relevant results, each analyzed logic circuit has been evolved 100 times, and the average of these results is presented and compared with other EHW techniques. This approach is necessary because of the probabilistic nature of EA; the same logic circuit may not be solved in the same way if tested several times. The proposed method has been examined in an extrinsic EHW system using the (1 + lambda) evolution strategy. The results obtained demonstrate that GDD significantly improves the evolution of logic circuits in terms of the number of generations, reduces computational time as it is able to reduce the required time for a single iteration of the EA, and enables the evolution of larger circuits never before evolved. In addition to the proposed method, a short overview of EHW systems together with the most recent applications in electrical circuit design is provided. 相似文献

We present an efficient graph-based evolutionary optimization technique, called evolutionary graph generation (EGG), and the proposed approach is applied to the design of combinational and sequential arithmetic circuits based on parallel counter-tree architecture. The fundamental idea of EGG is to employ general circuit graphs as individuals and manipulate the circuit graphs directly using new evolutionary graph operations without encoding the graphs into other indirect representations, such as the bit strings used in genetic algorithm (GA) proposed by Holland (1992) and trees used in genetic programming (GP) proposed by Koza et al. (1997). In this paper, the EGG system is applied to the design of constant-coefficient multipliers and the design of bit-serial data-parallel adders. The results demonstrate the potential capability of EGG to solve the practical design problems for arithmetic circuits with limited knowledge of computer arithmetic algorithms. The proposed EGG system can help to simplify and speed up the process of designing arithmetic circuits and can produce better solutions to the given problem 相似文献

This paper proposes a novel hybrid optimisation algorithm which combines the recently proposed evolutionary algorithm Backtracking Search Algorithm (BSA) with another widely accepted evolutionary algorithm, namely, Differential Evolution (DE). The proposed algorithm called BSA-DE is employed for the optimal designs of two commonly used analogue circuits, namely Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) differential amplifier circuit with current mirror load and CMOS two-stage operational amplifier (op-amp) circuit. BSA has a simple structure that is effective, fast and capable of solving multimodal problems. DE is a stochastic, population-based heuristic approach, having the capability to solve global optimisation problems. In this paper, the transistors’ sizes are optimised using the proposed BSA-DE to minimise the areas occupied by the circuits and to improve the performances of the circuits. The simulation results justify the superiority of BSA-DE in global convergence properties and fine tuning ability, and prove it to be a promising candidate for the optimal design of the analogue CMOS amplifier circuits. The simulation results obtained for both the amplifier circuits prove the effectiveness of the proposed BSA-DE-based approach over DE, harmony search (HS), artificial bee colony (ABC) and PSO in terms of convergence speed, design specifications and design parameters of the optimal design of the analogue CMOS amplifier circuits. It is shown that BSA-DE-based design technique for each amplifier circuit yields the least MOS transistor area, and each designed circuit is shown to have the best performance parameters such as gain, power dissipation, etc., as compared with those of other recently reported literature. 相似文献

This paper presents an application of evolutionary programming to parameter optimization in the design of a voltage reference circuit. Designing circuits consists of two steps: topological design and parameter determination. After designing a topology suitable for the circuit, the designer selects an appropriate value for each circuit element from a circuit analysis and his experience. This step is difficult and time consuming because the designer must consider many factors simultaneously. As more precise circuits are required, parameter optimization becomes more complex. The voltage reference circuit, which requires a precise reference voltage independent of power fluctuation and temperature change, is such an example. In this paper, evolutionary programming is used as an effective method of finding good parameter values for the elements of the voltage reference circuit. Simulation results show that this method provides good performance and can be used as an effective method for circuit design 相似文献

Three hypotheses are formulated. First, in the “design space” of possible electronic circuits, conventional design methods work within constrained regions, never considering most of the whole. Second, evolutionary algorithms can explore some of the regions beyond the scope of contentional methods, raising the possibility that better designs can be found. Third, evolutionary algorithms can in practice produce designs that are beyond the scope of conventional methods, and that are in some sense better. A reconfigurable hardware controller for a robot is evolved, using a conventional architecture with and without orthodox design constraints. In the unconstrained case, evolution exploited the enhanced capabilities of the hardware. A tone discriminator circuit is evolved on an FPGA without constraints, resulting in a structure and dynamics that are foreign to conventional design and analysis. The first two hypotheses are true. Evolution can explore the forms and processes that are natural to the electronic medium, and nonbehavioral requirements can be integrated into this design process, such as fault tolerance. A strategy to evolve circuit robustness tailored to the task, the circuit, and the medium, is presented. Hardware and software tools enabling research progress are discussed. The third hypothesis is a good working one: practically useful but radically unconventional evolved circuits are in sight 相似文献

Hardware/software codesign is the main approach to designing the embedded systems. One of the primary steps of the hardware/software codesign is the hardware/software partitioning. A good partitioning scheme is a tradeoff of some constraints, such as power, size, performance, and so on. Inspired by both negative selection model and evolutionary mechanism of the biological immune system, an evolutionary negative selection algorithm for hardware/software partitioning, namely ENSA-HSP, is proposed in this paper. This ENSA-HSP algorithm is proved to be convergent, and its ability to escape from the local optimum is also analyzed. The experimental results demonstrate that ENSA-HSP is more efficient than traditional evolutionary algorithm. 相似文献
