The Multi-Criteria Optimization in the LTspice Simulation Software of a JFet class AB Buffer Amplifier for Operation at Low Temperatures

Abstract

A high-speed buffer amplifier (BA) for analog microcircuits on complementary junction field-effect transistors is proposed. The scheme differs from the known circuit solutions by a small number of elements and can operate within the range of cryogenic temperatures. In the LTSpice simulation software, the optimal control parameters were selected using the DEAP (Distributed Evolutionary Algorithm in Python) library of distributed evolutionary calculations and the NSGA-II multi-criteria optimization algorithm. Minimization of offset voltage, static current consumption and dead band width on the amplitude characteristic at low temperatures were chosen as the priority parameters of the control unit.
