Use of granular method to design centering

Design centering is an extremely important element of analogue circuit design. Only heuristic methods may be applied to solve centering problem, because it belongs to NP-hard category. This paper proposes an entirely new approach, based on granular method. Examples indicate, that significant improvement of production yield can be observed
