LLM-Assisted Analog Amplifier Sizing — submission for the IEEE SSCS Code-a-Chip Travel Grant at VLSI 2026.
This notebook demonstrates an LLM-guided analog amplifier sizing flow on the SKY130 open-source PDK. It combines:
.claude/skills/The notebook sets up the full environment on a fresh Ubuntu/Debian system (ngspice 46 build from source, two conda envs, detached simulation server) and guides users to drive the interactive sizing flow from Claude Code in VS Code. Two historical run logs — Two-Stage Miller single-load OTA and 5-Transistor OTA with Sooch-style LV cascode load — are included as appendices to show the full 6-stage flow end-to-end, including extreme-PVT verification and CMA-ES optimization.
Supported topologies (production-ready): 5T OTA and Two-Stage Miller (TSM), each with single / cascode / wide-swing-cascode load variants. The sub-block black-box abstraction (5-quantity interface:
gds_eq,C_eq,p_int,V_headroom,Vbias_ext) lets the same topology equations handle all nine structural combinations.Team:
