Workshop on LLM-Aided and Agentic AI for Analog and RF Integrated Circuit Design
Co-located with DCIS 2026 – November 17, 2026 | Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Lisbon, Portugal

The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the way complex engineering systems are designed. In particular, recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) and agentic AI frameworks are opening new opportunities to transform the design methodologies of analog and RF integrated circuits (ICs). These emerging technologies have the potential to assist designers in tasks ranging from specification exploration and topology selection to automated optimization, verification, and documentation, enabling faster design cycles and improved design productivity.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of AI and analog/RF IC design to discuss the latest advances, challenges, and opportunities in this rapidly evolving field. The focus will be on LLM-aided design methodologies, AI agents capable of interacting with circuit simulators and design environments, and novel workflows that integrate machine intelligence into the analog and RF design loop. Particular attention will be given to practical frameworks that combine human expertise with AI-driven exploration and optimization.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• LLM-assisted analog and RF circuit design methodologies
• Agentic AI systems for autonomous circuit design and optimization
• AI-driven topology exploration and synthesis
• Integration of AI agents with circuit simulators and EDA tools
• Knowledge extraction from circuit design literature and design databases
• AI for RF and mm-Wave IC design automation
• Human-AI collaborative design frameworks for analog circuits
• Verification, reliability, and trust in AI-assisted circuit design

The workshop will feature invited talks from leading experts in academia and industry, as well as interactive discussions aimed at fostering collaboration between the AI and microelectronics communities. By bringing together specialists from both domains, the event seeks to explore how next-generation AI technologies can fundamentally change the way analog and RF integrated circuits are conceived and designed.

The workshop will take place on November 17, 2026, the day preceding the DCIS 2026 conference, and will be hosted at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) in Lisbon, Portugal.

Further details on speakers, registration, and the program will be announced soon.
