DNO - Deterministic Nominal Optimization

DNO is a powerful optimization engine for automatic nominal circuit optimization. DNO improves circuit performance values by changing design parameters with unique gradient-based optimization algorithms.

DNO-GUI Reference

The main window of the Deterministic Nominal Optimization is divided into five parts: the Menu, the two notebook tabs Specifications, Iterations1 on the left side, the Design Parameters section on the right side and the statusline below. When a new Deterministic Nominal Optimization node has been appended to the History, the user can define specifications in the corresponding section of the main window by entering lower and/or upper bounds for performances into the corresponding input fields. Initial specification bounds are inherited from its parent node. An empty input field indicates that no specification bound exists. If a performance is Select buttons not marked by the select button on the left side, it is ignored during the whole optimization. Its values are not calculated and thus simulation time is reduced.
