AIDA-CMK: Multi-Algorithm Optimization Kernel Applied to Analog IC SizingThis work addresses the research and development of an innovative optimization kernel applied to analog integrated circuit (IC) design. Particularly, this works describes the modifications inside the AIDA Framework, an electronic design automation framework fully developed by at the Integrated Circuits Group LX of the Instituto de Telecomunicaes, Lisbon. It focusses on AIDA CMK, by enhancing AIDA C, which is the circuit optimizer component of AIDA,
