Multiobjective optimization techniques: a study of the energy minimization method and its application to the synthesis of ota amplifiers

This paper reviews the multiobjective fitness evaluation method called energy minimization and presents an analysis of the method's behavior when used in a genetic algorithm applied to the synthesis of single-ended Miller operational amplifiers. A modified model is proposed in order to overcome some of the weaknesses pointed out and improve the model's performance. Finally, experimental results are presented and analyzed, leading to an overall evaluation of the benefits provided by the proposed modifications.
