AutoSizer: Automatic Sizing of Analog and Mixed-Signal Circuits via Large Language Model (LLM) Agents

AutoSizer introduces a novel LLM-driven meta-optimization framework that automates transistor sizing in analog and mixed-signal circuits, addressing a critical bottleneck in chip design. The system uses a two-loop approach combining circuit understanding with adaptive search refinement, outperforming traditional EDA methods and existing LLM agents on a new 24-circuit benchmark.

Agentic Electronic Design Automation: A Handoff Perspective

Researchers propose a framework for validating handoffs in agentic electronic design automation (EDA) systems, introducing a five-layer communication protocol to ensure LLM-based agents reliably transfer design artifacts across tools and organizational boundaries. The work classifies 82 EDA systems by handoff scope and establishes 'handoff validity' as a key principle for trustworthy AI-assisted chip design workflows.

Bridging the Last Mile of Circuit Design: PostEDA-Bench, a Hierarchical Benchmark for PPA Convergence and DRC Fixing

Researchers introduce PostEDA-Bench, a hierarchical benchmark for evaluating LLM-based agents in Electronic Design Automation tasks, specifically targeting Design Rule Check (DRC) fixing and Power-Performance-Area (PPA) optimization. Testing eight LLMs across 145 tasks reveals significant performance gaps, with best success rates of 36.66% for complex DRC reasoning and only 20% for multi-objective PPA optimization, indicating substantial room for improvement in AI-assisted chip design automation.
