The results conform closely enough to the design criteria that this optimization is
considered a success. As was stressed at the beginning of this tutorial, a simple example
was chosen in order to clearly demonstrate the optimization process.
You should be aware, however, that most optimization problems are much more
complicated and less straightforward. The designer needs to make decisions about
parameters, the parameter sweeps and optimization goals based on knowledge of
the circuit and design experience. Often, you must observe an optimization while
in progress, judge its viability and, as necessary, stop the optimization and start a
new one with new nominal values and data ranges.
