ATLAS: Template-Constrained LLM Agents for Reliable Analog Circuit Design

Jul 17, 2026

Researchers introduce ATLAS, a multi-step agentic framework that leverages large language models (LLMs) with template-constrained generation and expert knowledge to design functional SAR ADC circuits. Unlike prior approaches, ATLAS produces designs that pass SPICE simulations, addressing the challenge of LLM hallucinations in analog circuit design. The framework demonstrates proof-of-concept success across various technology nodes and input specifications.

Why it matters: This work provides a practical foundation for integrating LLMs into reliable analog circuit design, overcoming a key barrier to automation in this domain.
