“Morphing” in Evolutionary Synthesis of Electronic Circuits

A method of automated evolutionary synthesis of electronic circuits has been augmented by a concept called “morphing through fuzzy topologies.” Previous versions of the method provided for the evaluation of “crisp” topologies were precisely specified by open/closed (on/off) interconnection switches. The present, augmented version provides for evaluation of topologies specified by switches that support partial degrees of opening. These “fuzzy” topologies with partly open, partly closed switches have behaviors very similar to those obtained by a combination of “crisp” topologies. It is almost as if several “crisp” topologies are superimposed on each other, and are evaluated simultaneously when the fuzzy topology is evaluated. Like the previous versions, the present version is expected to enable the synthesis of a variety of digital and analog circuits with desired functional responses.
