  • Abstract
    This paper discusses two important features of electronic design through evolutionary processes; creativity and innovation. Hence, conventional design methodologies are discussed and compared with their counterparts via evolutionary processes. An evolutionary search is used as an engine for discovering new designs for a real world application. Attempts to extract some useful principles from the evolved designs are presented and results are compared to conventional design topologies for the same problems.
