arXiv:2410.00995v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The automatic synthesis of analog circuits presents significant challenges. Most existing approaches formulate the problem as a single-objective optimization task, overlooking that design specifications for a given circuit type vary widely across applications. To address this, we introduce specification-conditioned analog circuit generation, a task that directly generates analog circuits based on target specifications. The motivation is to leverage existing well-designed circuits to improve automation in analog circuit design. Specifically, w
The increasing complexity and performance demands of modern electronics, coupled with advancements in generative AI, are driving the need for automated design tools for analog circuits.
Automating analog circuit design addresses a significant bottleneck in hardware development, accelerating innovation and potentially impacting the cost and performance of various electronic systems, from consumer devices to advanced AI hardware.
The introduction of specification-conditioned generative AI for analog circuits shifts the design paradigm from single-objective optimization to a more flexible, data-driven approach that leverages existing designs.
