Efficient Iterative Process Based on an Improved Genetic Algorithm for Decoupling Capacitor Placement at Board Level

To reduce the noise created by a power delivery network, the number, the value of decoupling capacitors and their arrangement on the board are critical to reaching this goal. This work deals with specific improvements, implemented on a genetic algorithm, which used for the optimization of the decoup...
