AnalogRetriever: AI Framework for Cross-Modal Analog Circuit Search

ai-technology · 2026-04-29

AnalogRetriever serves as a comprehensive tri-modal retrieval system designed for analog circuit searches, tackling the issue of navigating diverse representations, including SPICE netlists, schematics, and functional descriptions. Current approaches are restricted to precise matches within a single modality, which limits their ability to understand cross-modal semantic connections. This framework enhances a high-quality dataset built on Masala-CHAI through a two-step repair process, increasing the netlist compilation rate from 22% to 100%. AnalogRetriever utilizes a vision-language model to encode schematics and descriptions, while employing a port-aware relational graph convolutional network for netlists, aligning all three modalities into a unified embedding space through curriculum contrastive learning. Experimental results indicate that AnalogRetriever achieves an a.

Key facts
