Abstract :
This paper reviews the multiobjective fitness evaluation method called energy minimization and presents an analysis of the method´s behavior when used in a genetic algorithm applied to the synthesis of single-ended Miller operational amplifiers. A modified model is proposed in order to overcome some of the weaknesses pointed out and improve the model´s performance. Finally, experimental results are presented and analyzed, leading to an overall evaluation of the benefits provided by the proposed modifications
