GNO - Global Nominal Optimization

GNO is a state-of-the-art stochastic optimization engine especially for optimization of circuits with non-linear behaviour. This enables to find global maxima and minima of the performance function.
Overview GUI Reference Specifications Sampling Design Parameters Design Optimization Flow
Fulfill Given Specifications Based on Sampling

With a GNO Global Nominal Optimization the circuit is sized such that - under influence of operating parameters - the given specifications are fulfilled as good as possible. The process variations are not taken into account. The Stochastic algorithm for Global Nominal Optimization iteratively generates samples and then reduces the sampling area based on an evaluation of the samples. It does not rely on gradient information.
