Abstract

This paper proposes a new approach of chromosome representation in digital circuit design which is Double Helix Structure (DHS). The idea of DHS in chromosome representation is inspired from the nature of the DNA's structure that built up the formation of the chromosomes. DHS is an uncomplicated design method. It uses short chromosome string to represent the circuit structure. This new structure representation is flexible in size where it is not restricted by the conventional matrix structure representation. There are some advantages of the proposed method such as convenience to apply due to the simple formation and flexible structure, less requirement of memory allocation and faster processing time due to the short chromosomes representation. In this paper, DHS is combined with Finite Persisting Sphere Genetic Algorithm (FPSGA) to optimal the digital circuit structure design. The experimental results prove that DHS uses short chromosome string to produce the flexible digital circuit structure and FPSGA further optimal the number of gates used in the structure. The proposed method has better performance compared to other methods.
