摘要：Due to the fact that, the power consumption and speed of a VLSI circuit are dependent on the transistorsizes, efficient transistor sizing is a new challenge for VLSI circuit designers. However, evolutionarycomputation can be successfully used for complex VLSI transistor sizing which reduces the time to marketand enables the designer to find the optimized solutions for a non-linear and complex circuit designprocess. In this paper, a new digital integrated circuit design approach is proposed based on the fireflyartificial intelligence optimization algorithm. In order to justify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithmin the design of VLSI circuits, an inverter (NOT gate) is designed and optimized by the proposed algorithm.As the simulation results show, the inverter circuit has a very good performance for power and delayparameters.
