Mixtrinsic Evolutionary Synthesis of Electronic Circuits

A method of automated synthesis of analog and/or digital electronic circuits involves evolution in both software simulations and hardware. Heretofore, the evolutionary auto- mated synthesis of electronic circuits has been accomplished by use of either software simulations or hardware, but not both. Evolution in software has been called “extrinsic,” while evolution in hardware has been called “intrinsic.” Because evolution by the present method involves both intrinsic and extrinsic elements, it is called “mixtrinsic.”
