AnalogCoder-Pro: Unifying Analog Circuit Generation and Optimization via Multi-modal LLMs
Abstract
Despite recent advances, analog front-end design still relies heavily on expert intuition and iterative simulations, which limits the potential for automation. We present AnalogCoder-Pro, a multimodal large language model (LLM) framework that unifies the stages of circuit topology generation and device sizing optimization. The framework features a multimodal diagnosis-and-repair feedback loop that uses simulation error messages and waveform images to autonomously correct design errors. It also builds a reusable circuit tool library by archiving successful designs as modular subcircuits, accelerating the development of complex systems. Furthermore, it enables end-to-end automation by generating circuit topologies from target specifications, extracting key parameters, and applying Bayesian optimization for device sizing. On a curated benchmark suite covering 13 circuit types, AnalogCoder-Pro successfully designed 28 circuits and consistently outperformed existing LLM-based methods in figures of merit.
