A method of automated synthesis of analog and/or digital electronic circuits involves evolution, either in software simulations or in hard- ware, directly on integrated-circuit chips. “Evolution” is used here in a quasi-genetic sense, signifying the construction and testing of a sequence of populations of circuits that function as incrementally better solutions of a given design problem. The evolution is guided by a search-and-optimization algorithm (in particular, a genetic algorithm) that operates in the space of possible circuits to find a circuit that exhibits the desired behavior.
