An Application of the Monte Carlo Method to the Economical Circuit Design in Consideration of the Drift Reliability

In this paper an application of the Monte Carlo method to optimum circuit design is discussed. T. Tsuda and T. Kiyono's algorithm based on the Monte Carlo method for solving multiple simul-taneous nonlinear equations is generalized to apply it to finding solutions of the constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The generalized algorithm derived here is directly applied to economical circuit design. In the cirsuit design, the object function is a cost function which is related to the cost of each circuit component. The constraint is the variance of the total system expressed by the variances of each circuit component. The design is to be determined so that the circuit has specified drift reliability with minimum cost. A practical example of economical circuit design and a general nonlinear function minimization is presented with food results.
