A Novel and Efficient Bayesian Optimization Approach for Analog Designs with Multi-Testbench

Analog circuits are characterized by various circuit performances obtained from multiple testbenches which need to be simulated independently. In this paper, we propose an efficient Bayesian optimization approach for multi-testbench analog circuit design. Predictive Entropy Search with Constraints (PESC) is applied for selecting the suitable testbench to simulate, and time-weighted PESC (wPESC) is...
