Abstract
Analog circuit topology synthesis suffers from weak synthesis capability and low-synthesis efficiency, which result in a bottleneck toward its practical industrial applications. This article presents a proximal-policy-optimization-based circuit topology synthesis framework, which features a superior convergence rate. To further promote its synthesis efficiency, we have improved a deterministic optimization method by incorporating a bias-aware scheme and group concept, which is applied as a filter to eliminate the undesirable topologies in the early evaluation stage. Moreover, a graph-based refinement scheme is proposed to perform deterministically on the generated circuit topologies, which can efficiently add frequency compensation circuits. Compared with the state-of-the-art approaches, our proposed method not only boosts the synthesis efficiency by at least 3 times but also enhances the synthesis capability with a deterministic compensation scheme, showcasing significant advancement of performance efficacy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
