Analog-DB: An Agent-First Analog Integrated Circuit Database, From Blocks to Systems
A shareable library that lets AI design analog circuits from reusable pieces
Researchers created an open-source database that stores analog circuit designs in a format that can be shared freely, retargeted to different manufacturing processes, and automatically discovered by AI agents. When tested on voltage regulators, AI using the database caught design flaws—including missing circuit components—that a conventional sizing-only approach missed, and fixed failing circuits in one to three iterations.
Analog circuit design currently requires extensive trial-and-error and knowledge locked behind non-disclosure agreements, slowing innovation and limiting who can participate. This database removes those barriers by making proven designs reusable and machine-readable, enabling AI tools to find and adapt existing solutions automatically. For companies and researchers, that means faster design cycles and fewer errors; for the field, it means knowledge can accumulate and compound rather than staying trapped in individual labs.
