LLM-SPICEMixer enhances analog circuit design with LLM-guided genetic algorithms

Researchers have developed LLM-SPICEMixer, a novel framework that enhances genetic algorithms for analog circuit design. This hybrid approach integrates an LLM-based operator, IGEL, to generate new circuit netlist proposals, which are then evaluated using SPICE simulations. The LLM contributes structured topology ideas while SPICE serves as the ultimate arbiter of performance. In tests for Iris classification, LLM-SPICEMixer demonstrated an improvement of 8.4% in median training reward and 8.8% in median validation reward compared to a genetic framework without LLM guidance. AI
