Abstract
This work presents AnalogMind, a tool-augmented pipeline for analog circuit design, optimization, and education. The system accepts design specifications through natural language or configuration files, compiles them into parameterized SPICE netlists, and evaluates designs using closed-form equations, CMA-ES optimization, Pareto NSGA-II multi-objective search, and Monte Carlo yield analysis. A hardware prototype validates simulation results against a physically tunable Sallen-Key low-pass filter controlled by an STM32 microcontroller. Benchmarked against GPT-4o, GPT-4omini, and Claude Sonnet 4.6 on 87 circuit design tasks, AnalogMind achieved an 80.5% pass rate compared to a next-best of 36.8%, demonstrating that a simulation-backed pipeline significantly outperforms general-purpose LLMs on analog circuit design tasks.
An open-source end-to-end multi-agent LLM workflow that takes user specs as input and outputs the appropriate netlist, encompassing both topology generation and circuit sizing, and achieves a figure of merit (FoM) comparable to that of known topologies, and up to 3x higher for certain circuits.
In CMOS-based application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) designs, total power consumption is dominated by dynamic power, where dynamic power consists of two major components, namely, switching power and internal power. In this paper, we present a low-power design for an accuracy-controllable multiplier. Multiplicat...

In many computer science and embedded systems courses, processor architecture is typically introduced using either the classical five-stage RISC pipeline or the two-stage AVR pipeline. While these architectures provide a strong introduction to bare-metal programming and computer organization, they do not necessarily re...

Sharing analog integrated circuit designs remains difficult: foundry non-disclosure agreements restrict the process details a design depends on, and the testbenches behind published results are rarely released. We present analog-db, an open-source, versioned database built on a shareable design representation. A domain...
Analog compute paradigms are gaining attention for their potential to overcome the energy and latency limits of digital systems. Analog computations are modeled as dynamical systems for design and optimization, but this process is challenging: the dynamics are governed by nonlinear differential equations without closed...
