Abstract
The problem of finding subcircuits in a larger circuit arises in many contexts in computer-aided design. In this paper, we present an approach to model the subcircuit extraction problem using genetic representation and control and propose a genetic algorithm. The genetic algorithm called SUBGEN, can be applied to identify subcircuits in a large circuit graph and is independent of circuit and technology factors. Results are presented based on applying the proposed algorithm to select CMOS circuits
