Design of bias circuits for transistor networks by a method of generalized optimization
Abstract
A method of generalized optimization is proposed for designing the bias circuits of nonlinear transistor networks operating in a small-signal regime. The necessity for this new approach is due to the great computational difficulties which arise in designing networks of larger sizes. The distinguishing feature of the proposed method is that the parameters of the components and the voltages of a nonlinear transistor network are regarded as independent variables. The problem of designing bias circuits is reduced to a problem of nonlinear programming based on the method of least squares. The numerical solution of various bias circuits reveals that the method of generalized optimization provides a substantial reduction in computational time.
