零样本预测模拟电路性能,无需微调即可跨拓扑通用。

ZeroSim: Zero-Shot Analog Circuit Evaluation with Unified Transformer Embeddings

  • 用统一嵌入和层级注意力建模电路拓扑,实现结构泛化。
  • 在360万实例上训练,零样本预测准确率显著优于基线模型。
  • 适合需要快速评估新电路的集成电路设计人员使用。

尽管基于学习的模拟电路设计自动化已解决拓扑生成、器件尺寸调整和版图综合等问题,但高效的性能评估仍是主要瓶颈。传统SPICE仿真耗时长,现有机器学习方法通常需针对特定拓扑重新训练或手动分割子结构以进行微调,限制了可扩展性和适应性。本文提出ZeroSim,一种基于Transformer的性能建模框架,可在训练拓扑下对新型参数配置实现稳健的分布内泛化,并在未见拓扑上实现零样本泛化,无需任何微调。我们采用三项关键技术:(1) 包含超过60种放大器拓扑的360万实例多样化训练数据集;(2) 利用全局感知标记和层级注意力的统一拓扑嵌入,增强对新电路的泛化能力;(3) 拓扑条件化的参数映射方法,保持结构表示在参数变化下的稳定性。实验表明,ZeroSim显著优于多层感知机、图神经网络和普通Transformer,在不同放大器拓扑上均实现高精度零样本预测。此外,将其集成到强化学习参数优化流程中,相比传统SPICE仿真提速13倍,凸显其在模拟电路设计自动化中的实际价值。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Although recent advancements in learning-based analog circuit design automation have tackled tasks such as topology generation, device sizing, and layout synthesis, efficient performance evaluation remains a major bottleneck. Traditional SPICE simulations are time-consuming, while existing machine learning methods often require topology-specific retraining or manual substructure segmentation for fine-tuning, hindering scalability and adaptability. In this work, we propose ZeroSim, a transformer-based performance modeling framework designed to achieve robust in-distribution generalization across trained topologies under novel parameter configurations and zero-shot generalization to unseen topologies without any fine-tuning. We apply three key enabling strategies: (1) a diverse training corpus of 3.6 million instances covering over 60 amplifier topologies, (2) unified topology embeddings leveraging global-aware tokens and hierarchical attention to robustly generalize to novel circuits, and (3) a topology-conditioned parameter mapping approach that maintains consistent structural representations independent of parameter variations. Our experimental results demonstrate that ZeroSim significantly outperforms baseline models such as multilayer perceptrons, graph neural networks and transformers, delivering accurate zero-shot predictions across different amplifier topologies. Additionally, when integrated into a reinforcement learning-based parameter optimization pipeline, ZeroSim achieves a remarkable speedup (13x) compared to conventional SPICE simulations, underscoring its practical value for a wide range of analog circuit design automation tasks.
