Sony and university researchers present LOADBench for analog circuit generation and topology-selection evaluation

The MLCAD 2026 program lists LOADBench with Stefan Uhlich, Lorenzo Servadei and university coauthors in the September 9 analog-design session. The work provides more than 100 SkyWater130 op-amp topologies, annotations and ngspice testbenches, with benchmarks including structural circuit generation and topology selection as well as sizing. The program lists Sony Semiconductor Solutions Europe and Sony AI; the later manuscript uses SonyAI affiliation labels. The October 15 arXiv upload supports this September research milestone and is not treated as a second Event or the first public presentation.

Sony AI and Sony Semiconductor Solutions authors publish LLM-SPICEMixer for analog netlist generation

Stefan Uhlich, Lorenzo Servadei and coauthors publish LLM-SPICEMixer, combining evolutionary circuit synthesis with an LLM operator that proposes new SPICE netlists from promising candidates. SPICE evaluation, rather than the language model, supplies the circuit reward. The task synthesizes transistor-level analog discriminant circuits. Author affiliations distinguish Sony AI in Switzerland, Sony Semiconductor Solutions in Japan and university collaborators. This is simulated topology-generation research, not fixed-topology sizing alone or evidence of production deployment.
