IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I Regular Papers

Recently, there have been many studies attempting to take advantage of advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Analog and Mixed-Signal (AMS) circuit design. Automated circuit sizing optimization and improving the accuracy of performance models are the two predominant uses of AI in AMS circuit design. This paper first introduces and explains the basic concepts in AI especially the ones that are more suitable to this application. Next, it surveys some recent studies of various AI techniques for AMS circuit design. Then, it discusses the main approaches as well as the pros and cons of each method. Finally, it gives meaningful insights about the current challenges and open issues, as well as recommends approaches for specific applications.
