In the field of integrated circuits, leaf cells are the basic units, serving as the fundamental building blocks (e.g., standard cells) that are widely reused in various VLSI designs, forming the basis for more complex circuits. Therefore, the design quality of leaf cell layouts significantly impacts…
This paper introduces the Functionality-Driven Multi-Agent Group Relative Policy Optimization (FD-MAGRPO) algorithm, which is designed to enhance exploration efficiency in reinforcement learning (RL) for analog integrated circuit sizing. Our proposed method integrates two key innovations: (1) a crit
Digital circuit representation learning has made remarkable progress in electronic design automation, effectively supporting critical tasks such as testability analysis and logic reasoning. However, representation learning for analog circuits remains challenging due to their continuous electrical ch
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been widely used recently while their hardware deployment optimizations are very time-consuming and the historical deployment knowledge is not utilized efficiently. In this paper, to accelerate the optimization process and find better deployment configurations, we pr…
