Abstract:
The infusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the intricate realm of analog circuits presents a transformative opportunity. By seamlessly blending the precision of AI algorithms with the nuanced operation of analog components, the landscape of analog circuit design has undergone a revolutionary transformation, enabling dynamic adaptation, fine optimization, and intelligent assimilation of insights gleaned from past data. Nevertheless, analog circuits face stringent functional and technological constraints, leading to a scarcity of data for modelling, and additional data acquisition entails costly and time-consuming simulations. This article introduces novel methodologies designed to enhance simulation efficiency and reduce associated costs, thereby enabling efficient and effective AI-driven analog circuit design. By leveraging data-driven AI approaches, the focus is on exploration of promising and feasible circuit design regions, improving AI model accuracy, and substantially mitigating the reliance on extensive simulations and significant manual effort. The results demonstrate a marked advancement in analog circuit design, showcasing how data-centric AI approaches can refine the design process, making it more efficient and cost-effective. This work is poised to set the stage for future developments where analog circuit design can be conducted with greater precision and efficiency.
