QiMeng-ChipV-RTL: Exploiting Information Locality for IP-level Verilog Generation

QiMeng-ChipV-RTL is a multi‑agent framework that tackles the challenges of generating Register‑Transfer Level (RTL) code for industrial IP‑level hardware design. By partitioning long design documents into short, localized tasks and using hierarchical planning, localized code generation, interface‑consistent merging, and AST‑guided debugging, it scales to complex specifications. Experiments on the RealBench benchmark show ChipV-RTL achieves a 45.0% pass rate, outperforming state‑of‑the‑art LLMs and agents which reach only 21.6%.

PCBnet: A Dataset and Automatic Construction of SPICE Netlists from Schematic Images

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.
