- 适合芯片设计、AI辅助硬件研发人员快速探索创新电路结构。
大规模基础半导体集成电路的设计对生成式AI、5G/6G及量子计算等前沿技术至关重要。尽管基础模型已显著加速数字电路设计,但模拟电路设计仍面临严峻挑战,主要源于缺乏全面的数据集和有效的电路表示方法。本文提出AnalogGenie——一个用于自动发现模拟电路拓扑的生成引擎,这是传统手动设计流程中最复杂且最具创造性的一环。该工作填补了两大关键空白:构建涵盖广泛模拟电路拓扑的基础性数据集,以及开发一种适用于所有模拟电路的可扩展序列化图表示方法。实验表明,AnalogGenie在拓展模拟集成电路多样性、单设计中增加器件数量、发现前所未见的电路拓扑方面均显著优于现有方法。本研究为将长期耗时的手动模拟电路设计流程转变为由生成式AI驱动的自动化、规模化设计铺平道路。源代码已公开于https://github.com/xz-group/AnalogGenie。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The massive and large-scale design of foundational semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs) is crucial to sustaining the advancement of many emerging and future technologies, such as generative AI, 5G/6G, and quantum computing. Excitingly, recent studies have shown the great capabilities of foundational models in expediting the design of digital ICs. Yet, applying generative AI techniques to accelerate the design of analog ICs remains a significant challenge due to critical domain-specific issues, such as the lack of a comprehensive dataset and effective representation methods for analog circuits. This paper proposes, $\textbf{AnalogGenie}$, a $\underline{\textbf{Gen}}$erat$\underline{\textbf{i}}$ve $\underline{\textbf{e}}$ngine for automatic design/discovery of $\underline{\textbf{Analog}}$ circuit topologies--the most challenging and creative task in the conventional manual design flow of analog ICs. AnalogGenie addresses two key gaps in the field: building a foundational comprehensive dataset of analog circuit topology and developing a scalable sequence-based graph representation universal to analog circuits. Experimental results show the remarkable generation performance of AnalogGenie in broadening the variety of analog ICs, increasing the number of devices within a single design, and discovering unseen circuit topologies far beyond any prior arts. Our work paves the way to transform the longstanding time-consuming manual design flow of analog ICs to an automatic and massive manner powered by generative AI.
