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.
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.
Analog circuit sizing remains a challenging and time-consuming task due to the large design space, strong performance trade-offs, and increasing circuit complexity in scaled technologies. Although rec...
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: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:2607. 03701v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can propose circuit-optimization decisions, but industrial analog flows cannot expose foundry PDK content, proprietary schematics, absolute simulation paths, or license-bound tool state to a cloud endpoint.
