New Graph Autoencoder Enhances Analog Circuit Design Automation

Researchers have developed CktHGVAE, a novel graph variational autoencoder designed for the design and analysis of analog/mixed-signal CMOS circuits at the transistor level. This model uniquely incorporates both design and state variables, achieving high R2 values above 0.9 for typical circuit configurations and demonstrating strong performance in latent-space optimization for circuit specifications. The pretrained model exhibits transfer learning capabilities, enabling it to generalize to unseen circuit topologies without retraining, suggesting its potential for automating analog and mixed-signal circuit design. AI

IMPACT This model could significantly accelerate and improve the automation of analog and mixed-signal circuit design processes.

    CktHGVAE: A Symmetric Design/State Heterogeneous Graph Variational Autoencoder for Transistor-level Analog/Mixed-signal Circuit Design and Analysis

    arXiv:2610.19508v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose CktHGVAE, a heterogeneous graph variational autoencoder for transistor-level analog/mixedsignal CMOS circuits that takes not only design variables but also state variables as its inputs and outputs. With a single hyperpar…
