Abstract
A method to provide an automated circuit design tool that mitigates or overcomes the inefficiencies present in the prior art tools ensuring a more efficient use of computer resources and a reduction in the time taken to design a suitable circuit that meets the design specification is presented. The computer-implemented method of designing a circuit configuration of a circuit, has the following steps 1) providing a first set of circuit configurations comprising one or more circuit configurations, 2) simulating each, circuit configuration of the first set of circuit configurations. In addition, the steps include: 3) scoring each, circuit configuration of the first set of circuit configurations based on a design specification and the simulation, or simulations, of step 2), and 4) providing a second set of circuit configurations comprising one or more circuit configurations that are dependent on the scores as determined in step 3).
