Abstract: The problem of reduction of time of designing of the complex analog systems can be defined as one of key tasks of modern electronics. This problem can be solved on the basis of a generalized approach to optimization of electronic circuits. The generalization of circuit optimization can be formulated as a problem of minimization of a functional in theory of control. A special vector of control serves in this case as a principal tool to redistributing the computer time between the circuit analysis and the procedure of parametric optimization. The process of circuit designing is formulated in this case as a controllable dynamic system. We need to construct the optimal structure of the vector of control for realization the minimal-time algorithm of designing. Obtaining the optimal sequence of switching points of the vector control in the process of designing can be based on the intrinsic properties of each optimization strategy. The Lyapunov function of the process of optimization serves as a principal function that separates the perspective strategies for the circuit designing. The process of designing of electronic circuit is formulated as a dynamic controllable system and this process corresponds to the transition process to bring the system in steady state. In this case, the main objective of the optimum designing is defined as the problem of minimization of the transient process for bringing the system in steady state. Stability analysis of each strategy of designing is based on direct method of Lyapunov and revealed a strong correlation between the time of designing and the main indicators of the process of designing, namely the Lyapunov function and its derivative. The strategies that have the greatest absolute value of the time derivative of Lyapunov function exhibit the greatest stability and have the least CPU time. This property is the basis for the constructing a minimal-time algorithm of designing. The total processor time gain for the optimal algorithm is equal to thousands in comparison with traditional approach.
