arXiv:2607. 03835v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Converting a SPICE netlist into a human-readable schematic is a longstanding problem in electronic design automation: simulators and machine-learning pipelines readily produce netlists, but designers reason about circuits through diagrams.
arXiv:2608. 12197v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in circuit design workflows, yet their reliability on simulator-facing SPICE netlist recognition and manipulation remains poorly understood and is rarely separated from high-level design reasoning.
arXiv:2607. 01609v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have revolutionized Electronic Design Automation (EDA), particularly through Large Language Models (LLMs) for circuit design tasks.
Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have revolutionized Electronic Design Automation (EDA), particularly through Large Language Models (LLMs) for circuit design tasks. However, their application to analog and mixed-signal domains remains limited by the lack of machine-readable representations of existing circuit design knowledge.
Analog-DB is an open‑source, versioned database that stores analog integrated circuit designs in a process‑neutral topology, reusable testbenches, and machine‑readable datasheets using a domain‑specific language. The database’s parameterization scheme and schema‑governed contracts enable AI design agents to discover, compose, and retarget circuits across multiple process kits. In a case study, a coding agent used the released artifacts to size op‑amp cores for a chopper instrumentation amplifier, uncovering defects that a sizing‑only baseline missed.
Sharing analog integrated circuit designs remains difficult: foundry non-disclosure agreements restrict the process details a design depends on, and the testbenches behind published results are rarely...
arXiv:2603. 11075v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) designs continue to scale in size and complexity, layout verification has become a central challenge in modern Electronic Design Automation (EDA) workflows.
arXiv:2608. 13472v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Analog circuit design is a time-consuming, iterative process in a nonlinear and high-dimensional design space that relies heavily on expert intuition.
arXiv:2606. 01188v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Translating natural-language hardware requirements into correct printed circuit board (PCB) schematics remains difficult in embedded, IoT, and wearable development.
PCBnet is a new large‑scale dataset of printed circuit board (PCB) schematics that includes over 300 real‑world designs, more than 50,000 component instances, 150,000 wires, 100,000 text regions, and 400,000 characters, each paired with a SPICE netlist. The authors also introduce an automated pipeline that converts schematic images into netlists, achieving 94.54% component detection mAP, 98.57% text recognition accuracy, and 84.47% end‑to‑end connectivity accuracy. This resource aims to serve as a benchmark and data foundation for future AI‑driven PCB design automation.
arXiv:2602. 00510v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Most LLM code-synthesis benchmarks rely on unit tests as the reward oracle, but PCB schematic design has none: correctness is defined by structured physical constraints over real IC packages and pin-level assignments, per-task golden references are unavailable, and SPICE simulation does not validate schematic-level correctness.
arXiv:2603. 09161v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Learning effective netlist representations is fundamentally constrained by the scarcity of labeled datasets, as real designs are protected by Intellectual Property (IP) and costly to annotate.
arXiv:2606. 11562v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph analysis underlies many applications whose answers cannot be looked up in a single record or retrieved along a path: laundering rings, drug repurposing, user preference, and scientific theme are all inferred from a node together with its neighbourhood.
