Abstract :
Nonlinear functions can be approximated by the linear combination of base functions, which provides a road towards the analog synthesis. An improved Simulated Annealing Algorithm (SA) for nonlinear function approximation and a universal implementation of analog circuits are presented in this paper. Synthesis results demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the proposed approach
