Abstract :
In this paper, we present a constraint transformation and topology selection methodology that explores the system level parameter space to compute acceptable regions in the component parameter space. The search process of an underlying circuit synthesis tool could be confined to these regions of valid solutions. Experimental results showing the impact of parameter space exploration at a higher level on analog circuit synthesis are presented demonstrating the effectiveness of this technique
