LLMs accelerate analog circuit design with new frameworks for layout and topology

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Two new research papers explore the application of large language models (LLMs) in analog circuit design, aiming to automate and improve the efficiency of complex layout refinement and topology generation. The first paper introduces a simulation-aware LLM multi-agent framework for in-context policy improvement, significantly reducing the need for costly simulations. The second paper presents AaLLM, an end-to-end framework that uses LLMs for both topology generation and circuit sizing, achieving comparable or superior figures of merit and drastically cutting down design time and simulation calls. AI
