The paper is focused on evolutionary synthesis of analog circuit realization of cube root function using proposed Graph Hybrid Estimation of Distribution Algorithm. The problem of cube root function circuit realization was adopted to demonstrate synthesis capability of the proposed method. Individuals of the population of the proposed method which represent promising topologies are encoded using graphs and hypergraphs. Hybridization with local search algorithm was used. The proposed method employs univariate probabilistic model.

The complexity of computational circuits versus radix is analyzed. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given that ensure that the complexity of certain computational circuits will be a monotonically decreasing function of radix. Mechanizations of a higher radix ripple carry adder, look-ahead adder, magnitude comparator, and parallel multiplier are given. Each mechanization is implemented using both I2L threshold logic and standard multiple-valued logic primitives and then tested against the necessary and sufficient conditions previously developed. A comparison is made of the relative effectiveness of I2L threshold logic versus logic primitives in realizing computational circuits whose complexity is a decreasing function of radix.

An original differential transconductance structure using exclusively MOS active devices biased in saturation region will be further presented. Performing the great advantage of a good linearity, obtained by a proper current biasing of the differential core using computational circuits, the proposed structure is designed for low-voltage low-power operation. The estimated linearity is obtained for an extended range of the differential input voltage. The frequency response of the new differential structure is strongly increased by operating all MOS devices in the saturation region. The circuit is implemented in 0.35 mu m CMOS technology, SPICE simulations confirming the theoretical estimated results.

The extension of current operating licences for nuclear power plants andforecasts for new plant construction in the foreseeable future create an opportunity for the designand manufacture of components with the appropriate instrumentation for meaningful condition andperformance monitoring. The inclusion of the concept of a 'self-monitoring' component in the designphase can also push the development of computer modelling to allow the information from themonitorirfg instrumentation to be processed by computational circuits. To date, relatively littleadvancement has been made in integrating instrumentation, sensors, monitoring, and controls toprovide periodic estimates of material degradation capable of predicting the need for refurbishmentand replacement of components. Components with such integrated equipment can considerably reduceoperation and maintenance (O&M) costs while improving reliability, availability and safety. 'Smart'component technologies can predict system performance and remaining useful life with highconfidence, based on various predictive maintenance technologies that use current and projectedconditions of critical components and subsystems to predict their state of health. The capability toassess risk versus benefit of delaying maintenance tasks results in overhaul and repair beingperformed only when necessary. The primary objective of the smart component project is to assesscurrent technologies and identify what subsequent tasks will be required.
