The human kind is facing various natural calamities such as Elnino, forest fires, climate
change, etc., due to environmental degradation and pollution. The United Nations has come …

The increasing complexity and size of design space poses significant challenges for
integrated circuit (IC) design. This article discusses the potential of machine learning (ML) …

Analog designs consist of multiple hierarchical functional blocks. Each block can be built
using one of several design topologies, where the choice of topology is based on circuit …

The performance of analog circuits is critically dependent on layout parasitics, but layout has
traditionally been a manual and time-consuming task. Recent advances in ML have enabled …

In recent years, analog circuits have received extensive attention and are widely used in
many emerging applications. The high demand for analog circuits necessitates shorter …

An analog/mixed-signal designer typically performs circuit optimization, involving intensive
SPICE simulations, on a schematic netlist and then sends the optimized netlist to layout …

The ALIGN (Analog Layout, Intelligently Generated from Netlists) project [1, 2] is a joint
university-industry effort to push the envelope of automated analog layout through a …

The quality of layouts generated by automated analog design have traditionally not been
able to match those from human designers over a wide range of analog designs. The ALIGN …
