Abstract :
An analog design optimization procedure is based on simulated annealing is proposed. The new method takes into account the cost function gradient, performing like simulated annealing at high temperatures and like a steepest descendent method near the frozen condition. The proposed method avoids the excessively time-consuming final iterations characteristic of the conventional simulated annealing algorithm
