Re: Circuit optimization
Hi Dear STOIKOV!
I am not sure I understood your question, I am afraid. But I suppose you want to know what optimization means and how it is done.
I give you an example: Consider a simple RLC circuit applied as a filter. You want to have a proper response, so that the frequency response have a sharp peak and at the same time, the time response is not oscillating. You have to do a trade off, you choose the resistance and capacitance for example, as the changable variables and start to optimize the circuit. You define some limitations (Some Goals) to achive and try to obtain this goals bu changing the amount of variables. If you succeeded, you have optimized the circuit. So you see in optimization, basically you need a goal and some variables to change. There are special algorithms which are used to optimize a system to get desired situation by changing some variables. So during an optimization you need to define the variables and goals, the simulator will deal with rest.
Thanks!
