摘要
Q-Learning is one of the best ways to find action in certain situations through trials and errors. In this paper, we propose a novel method that finds element values of OPAmp satisfying specifications of a target circuit using Q-learning. In the proposed method, the relationship between "element value" and "circuit characteristic" is learned by Q-learning. From simulation results, we confirmed that the computer itself learned circuit design procedure, and autonomous design became possible.
