Abstract:

Genetic programming was used to evolve both the topology and the sizing (numerical values) for each component of a low-distortion, low-bias 60 decibel (1000-to-1) amplifier circuit with good frequency generalization. The evolved circuit was composed of two types of transistors (active elements) as well as resistors and capacitors.
