Symbol and Footprint Database for Electronic Components by Agentic Recognition and Generation
Yichen Shi, Yuzhi Liu, Zhuofu Tao +4
A rich and recognizable component library is the cornerstone of printed circuit board (PCB) design and generation. Traditionally, engineers manually create symbols and footprints a…
Therm-FM: Foundation Model is ALL YOU NEED for 3D-ICs Thermal Simulation
Zhen Huang, Haiyang Xin, Wenkai Yang +6
Data-driven thermal predictors for 3D-ICs are often trained from scratch for each chip design using many high-fidelity finite-element simulations, leading to high data-generation c…
AMSnet-q: Unsupervised Circuit Identification and Performance Labeling for AMS Circuits
Ze Zhang, Junzhuo Zhou, Yichen Shi +6
Analog and mixed-signal (AMS) circuit design remains heavily reliant on expert knowledge. While recent AI-driven automation tools can generate candidate topologies, they critically…
SetupKit: Efficient Multi-Corner Setup/Hold Time Characterization Using Bias-Enhanced Interpolation and Active Learning
Junzhuo Zhou, Ziwen Wang, Haoxuan Xia +5
Accurate setup/hold time characterization is crucial for modern chip timing closure, but its reliance on potentially millions of SPICE simulations across diverse process-voltagetem…
AMSbench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Evaluating MLLM Capabilities in AMS Circuits
Yichen Shi, Ze Zhang, Hongyang Wang +10
Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) circuits play a critical role in the integrated circuit (IC) industry. However, automating Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) circuit design has remained a longsta…
Self-Attention to Operator Learning-based 3D-IC Thermal Simulation
Zhen Huang, Hong Wang, Wenkai Yang +6
Thermal management in 3D ICs is increasingly challenging due to higher power densities. Traditional PDE-solving-based methods, while accurate, are too slow for iterative design. Ma…
