Summary
Today, analog circuit debugging is a daunting task because of its manual nature and heavy reliance on experience. A manual root cause search is time-consuming, which creates a profitability issue for the semiconductor industry by delaying time-to-market and time-to-revenue. Over-reliance on human subject matter experts also poses a workforce challenge: if experienced experts leave or retire before new engineers are fully trained, critical knowledge may be lost. This research seeks to address both problems by building an artificial intelligence (AI)-based virtual expert to help people think. Th
