Tech Blog Series: Sensitivity Analysis+Optimization — Now That's Formidable!

24 Apr 2018 • Less than one minute read

Anyone who designs complex circuits and claims they don’t use the Optimizer on their design is most likely a super-genius with an IQ of 250. Sure, most of you have used the Optimizer on your circuit before. But, have you used it in combination with Sensitivity Analysis? Optimization is just like having infinite monkeys at your disposal. Use it properly and you're The Man, abuse it and you're wasting time and resources.

With the combination of Sensitivity Analysis and Optimizer tools you avoid:

  • Prototype revisions (Direct cost)
  • Prototype revisions (Opportunity cost)
  • An extra week in Engineering (vs using Optimization)
  • Releasing an inferior design

In this Blog 2 of the Tech-Series, we will use the Optimization tool on the same RF Amplifier circuit from Blog 1 for shortlisting the critical components in the design. But, now we focus on increasing this design's productivity! Learn how to use these tools together and make the most out of your own designs.
