Researchers have developed SPECS, a novel genetic algorithm inspired by the NEAT algorithm, for the automated synthesis of analog circuits. This method jointly optimizes circuit topology and sizing, incorporating circuit-specific wiring constraints and speciation to maintain diversity and innovation. SPECS has demonstrated superior performance compared to existing methods in synthesizing circuits for square, cube, square root, and cube root functions, showing improvements in both solution quality and reliability.
