En este trabajo, el problema en cuestión consiste en el dimensionamiento de un Amplificador Operacional de Transconductancia (OTA). El frente de Pareto se introduce como un concepto útil de análisis con el fin de explorar el espacio de diseño de este tipo de circuitos analógicos. Se emplea un algoritmo genético (GA) para detectar automáticamente este frente, en un proceso que de manera eficiente encuentra parametrizaciones óptimas y sus valores correspondientes en un espacio agregado de aptitudes. Ya que el problema es tratado como una tarea de optimización multiobjetivo, las diferentes medidas del amplificador como la transconductancia, razón de cambio de salida, el rango lineal y la capacitancia de entrada se utilizan como funciones de aptitud. Por último, se presentan los resultados de simulación, utilizando una tecnología CMOS estándar de 0,5μm. 2014-05-02 2015-03-23T21:03:24Z 2015-03-23T21:03:24Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares https://revistas.tec.ac.cr/index.php/tec_marcha/article/view/1691 https://hdl.handle.net/2238/4096 spa https://tecdigital.tec.ac.cr/servicios/ojs/index.php/tec_marcha/article/view/1691/1544 application/pdf Editorial Tecnológica de Costa Rica Tecnología en Marcha; Vol. 27, Núm. 1 (2014); pág. 3-12 2215-3241 0379-3982
