CASPO: A Convergence-Aware Surrogate-Assisted Political Optimizer for Simulation-Efficient Analog Circuit Design

Automated sizing of analog integrated circuits is limited by the cost of SPICE-class simulation, which sets the cost of every optimization loop. Surrogate models promise a cheaper search, but analog exploration visits many non-functional designs—transistors leave saturation, the operating point collapses—and these brok...
