Abstract

A method to optimize performance of an electric circuit design is disclosed. The method comprises providing for each circuit element of the electric circuit design available design parameter options; transforming the electric circuit design and the design parameter options into a linear programming model; determining a solution for the linear programming model; and based on the solution generating a list of circuit elements which design parameters need to be changed to a different option to achieve performance optimization.
