Abstract (arXiv)
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) suggest strong potential for automating analog circuit design. Yet most LLM-based approaches rely on a single-model loop of generation, diagnosis, and correction, which favors succinct summaries over domain-specific insight and suffers from context attrition that erases critical technical details. To address these limitations, we propose AnalogAgent, a training-free agentic framework that integrates an LLM-based multi-agent system (MAS) with self-evolving memory (SEM) for analog circuit design automation. AnalogAgent coordinates a Code Generator, Design Optimizer, and Knowledge Curator to distill execution feedback into an adaptive playbook in SEM and retrieve targeted guidance for subsequent generation, enabling cross-task transfer without additional expert feedback, databases, or libraries. Across established benchmarks, AnalogAgent achieves 92% Pass@1 with Gemini and 97.4% Pass@1 with GPT-5. Moreover, with compact models (e.g., Qwen-8B), it yields a +48.8% average Pass@1 gain across tasks and reaches 72.1% Pass@1 overall, indicating that AnalogAgent substantially strengthens open-weight models for high-quality analog circuit design automation.
