RFChipAgent:面向模拟/射频芯片设计的多智能体 AI 流程

arXiv:2610.10858v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Analog/RF circuits remain the critical interface between digital computation and the physical world, and emerging standards from Wi-Fi 7 to 6G place stringent demands on them, yet analog/RF design remains one of the most labor-intensive steps in chip development. We present RFChipAgent, a first-of-its-kind multi-agent flow of large language model (LLM) agents for end-to-end analog/RF circuit design automation, in which AI agents collaboratively orchestrate the complete design flow under human supervision. RFChipAgent is built around four technical pillars. First, a multimodal retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) subsystem with private per-document FAISS indexing extracts design knowledge from existing engineering documentation. Second, a topology agent drives topology selection, and a schematic and testbench agent automates circuit and testbench assembly. Third, a closed-loop hybrid circuit-sizing engine combines Tree-structured Parzen Estimator (TPE) and CMA-ES optimization, evaluating every candidate in a simulator-in-the-loop framework. Fourth, a trust-scored simulation database accumulates verified performance data and builds an adaptive optimization model that informs subsequent trials. We validate RFChipAgent on a family of GF22FDSOI 60 GHz wideband mm-wave low-noise amplifier (LNA) topologies, demonstrating automated topology generation, specification-driven design-space exploration, and simulator-guided optimization. Experimental results show substantial reductions in design effort while maintaining signoff-quality verification. This work establishes a foundation for LLM-driven multi-agent electronic design automation (EDA) for analog/RF circuits.
