abstract = "This paper demonstrates a system that performs
multi-objective sizing across 100,000 analog circuit
topologies simultaneously, with SPICE accuracy. It
builds on a previous system, MOJITO, which searches
through 3500 topologies defined by a
hierarchically-organised set of 30 analog blocks. This
paper improves MOJITO's results quality via three key
extensions. First, it enlarges the block library to
enable symmetrical transconductance amplifiers and
more. Second, it improves initial topology diversity
via optimisation-based constraint satisfaction. Third,
it maintains topology diversity during search via a
novel multi-objective selection mechanism, dubbed
TAPAS. MO-JITO+TAPAS is demonstrated on a problem with
6 objectives, returning a tradeoff holding 17438
nondominated designs. The tradeoff is comprised of 152
unique topologies that include the newly-introduced
topologies. 59 designs across 12 topologies designs
outperform an expert-designed reference circuit.",
