AI-Driven Learning and Regeneration of Analog Circuit Designs from
Academic Papers
Abstract
This paper presents an AI-based framework designed for learning and
regenerating analog circuits from academic papers. The framework
comprises four distinct modules: circuit extractor, table extractor,
text extractor, and simulation executor. The circuit extractor module
utilizes deep learning object detection to identify devices and their
associated textual descriptions while extracting interconnections
between devices. The table extractor module handles textual and
image-based tables, extracting device parameters and simulation data.
The text extractor module leverages Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
and AI models to extract supplementary information. The simulation
executor employs this information to conduct simulations and optimize
circuit performance. In our experiments, our method effectively extracts
multimodal circuit design information, achieving an average accuracy of
up to 97% in target detection within the circuit extractor module. The
improved performance during the simulation process further validates the
effectiveness of our framework.
