Abstract

Generating accurate circuit schematics from high-level natural language descriptions remains a persistent challenge in electronic design automation (EDA), as large language models (LLMs) frequently hallucinate components, violate strict physical constraints, and produce non-machine-readable outputs. To address this, we present CircuitLM, a multi-agent pipeline that translates user prompts into structured, visually interpretable $\texttt{CircuitJSON}$ schematics. The framework mitigates hallucination and ensures physical viability by grounding generation in a curated, embedding-powered component knowledge base through five sequential stages: (i) component identification, (ii) canonical pinout retrieval, (iii) chain-of-thought reasoning, (iv) JSON schematic synthesis, and (v) interactive force-directed visualization. We evaluate the system on a dataset of 100 unique circuit-design prompts using five state-of-the-art LLMs. To systematically assess performance, we deploy a rigorous dual-layered evaluation methodology: a deterministic Electrical Rule Checking (ERC) engine categorizes topological faults by strict severity (Critical, Major, Minor, Warning), while an LLM-as-a-judge meta-evaluator identifies complex, context-aware design flaws that bypass standard rule-based checkers. Ultimately, this work demonstrates how targeted retrieval combined with deterministic and semantic verification can bridge natural language to structurally viable, schematic-ready hardware and safe circuit prototyping. Our code and data will be made public.

Low-signal caution for protocol decisions

Use this page for context, then validate protocol choices against stronger HFEPX references before implementation decisions.

  • The available metadata is too thin to trust this as a primary source.
  • The abstract does not clearly name benchmarks or metrics.

Should You Rely On This Paper?

This paper is adjacent to HFEPX scope and is best used for background context, not as a primary protocol reference.

Best use
