AaLLM: An End-to-End Analog Circuit Design Framework from Topology Generation to Sizing Using Large Language Models

Analog circuit design is a time-consuming, iterative process in a nonlinear and high-dimensional design space that relies heavily on expert intuition. Among recent developments, LLMs have introduced a promising approach by bringing natural language reasoning to circuit design tasks. The majority of conventional LLM-based approaches provide fragmented solutions that focus either only on sizing or topology generation. These methods require adding specific technical knowledge manually, which is inefficient and prone to hallucinations during circuit sizing. Moreover, the inherent trade-off in meeting different specs makes current approaches iterative and tedious. Another shortcoming is the inability to create innovative topologies, which may lead to sub-optimal designs due to reliance on conventional topologies. In this paper, we present AaLLM, 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. AaLLM automates the creation of a relevant knowledge base from research papers and textbooks to combat tedious manual data collection. A RAG model is implemented to emulate circuit design expertise using this knowledge base. Moreover, AaLLM uses a novel tri-agent feedback system comprising a Designer that determines circuit component values, a Critic that scrutinizes these values, and an Evaluator that minimizes circuit sizing iterations by arbitrating between the other two agents. AaLLM-generated novel topologies achieve a figure of merit (FoM) comparable to that of known topologies, and up to 3x higher for certain circuits. Testing on several circuit topologies, our results show a 3x - 4.5x decrease in the number of SPICE calls at inference when compared to SOTA multi-agent LLM pipelines. The results also show a 40x decrease in wall-clock time compared to existing approaches.

ORACLE: A Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning-Based Analog Circuit Design Optimizer with Large Language Models-Guided Exploration

Analog circuit design automation using reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a promising approach for reducing manual effort. However, many existing RL-based methods focus on single-objective optimization. Even methods designed for multi-objective (MO) problems often reduce multiple design specifications to a single scalar reward. This simplification limits the ability to capture the true Pareto trade-off among competing objectives and often leads to suboptimal designs. Moreover, requiring the model to be retrained from scratch whenever the desired MO specifications change remains a key limitation. To address these challenges, we present ORACLE, an open-source RL-based framework for MO analog circuit design optimization that replaces scalar reward optimization with vector-valued learning and preference-aware conditioning. ORACLE represents a true MO analog circuit design optimizer that uses a preference vector to specify the relative weights of multiple objectives, enabling a single trained model to generate designs across diverse trade-off settings without retraining. We further propose two preference-guidance strategies, namely normalized-weight guidance and cosine-aligned guidance, to improve convergence. In addition, we incorporate a large language model (LLM)-guided action selection mechanism to filter actions that are likely to lead to suboptimal designs or increased runtime. Our results show that, on multiple circuit topologies with 2,000 test cases, ORACLE reduces runtime by 20.4x - 104.4x compared to state-of-the-art approaches. It also meets 99.9% of the 2,000 target specifications, and achieves 5.1x - 318.6x better figure of merit in the resulting output specs.

SINA: A Fully Automated Circuit Schematic Image to Netlist Generator Using Artificial Intelligence

Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have revolutionized Electronic Design Automation (EDA), particularly through Large Language Models (LLMs) for circuit design tasks. However, their application to analog and mixed-signal domains remains limited by the lack of machine-readable representations of existing circuit design knowledge. Circuit schematic images found in research manuscripts, textbooks, and websites constitute a vast repository of validated designs; however, these visual representations cannot be directly processed by EDA tools. Converting them into machine-readable netlists is essential for enabling simulation, verification, and building comprehensive databases for AI-based models. Current conversion methods lack generalization across both Integrated Circuit (IC) and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) level schematics. Moreover, they struggle with component recognition and connectivity inference, and fail to distinguish between connected junctions and crossing wires. In this paper, we propose SINA, an open-source circuit schematic image-to-netlist generator. SINA is a fully automated pipeline that integrates deep learning for robust component detection, connected-component labeling for accurate connectivity inference, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for component reference designator extraction, and a Vision-Language Model (VLM) for reliable reference designator assignment. SINA handles both IC- and PCB-level schematics and incorporates dedicated crossing-wires detection to differentiate wire intersections from connections. We validate the correctness of the generated netlists using graph isomorphism techniques. Our experiments demonstrate an overall netlist generation accuracy of 96.67%, which is 2.72x higher compared to state-of-the-art approaches.

Synthetic Data Pipelines for Adaptive, Mission-Ready Militarized Humanoids

Omnia presents a synthetic data driven pipeline to accelerate the training, validation, and deployment readiness of militarized humanoids. The approach converts first-person spatial observations captured from point-of-view recordings, smart glasses, augmented reality headsets, and spatial browsing workflows into scalable, mission-specific synthetic datasets for humanoid autonomy. By generating large volumes of high-fidelity simulated scenarios and pairing them with automated labeling and model training, the pipeline enables rapid iteration on perception, navigation, and decision-making capabilities without the cost, risk, or time constraints of extensive field trials. The resulting datasets can be tuned quickly for new operational environments and threat conditions, supporting both baseline humanoid performance and advanced subsystems such as multimodal sensing, counter-detection survivability, and CBRNE-relevant reconnaissance behaviors. This work targets faster development cycles and improved robustness in complex, contested settings by exposing humanoid systems to broad scenario diversity early in the development process.
