AI agent Claude Opus 4.8 designs RF modules using EDA tools

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed TACS-RF, a framework that uses a large language model, Claude Opus 4.8, to directly control electronic design automation (EDA) tools for creating RF and mmWave modules. This system successfully designed a 240-251 GHz sub-THz transmitter, including various sub-blocks like a VCO, power drivers, and an antenna. The designed transmitter achieved specific performance metrics for power output and phase noise, demonstrating a step towards an automated "text-to-ASIC" design process. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates AI's capability to automate complex hardware design, potentially accelerating chip development.
