COmPOSER: Circuit Optimization of mm-wave/RF circuits with Performance-Oriented Synthesis for Efficient Realizations

Hardware Architecture 2026-04-22 v3

Abstract

This work presents COmPOSER, an open-source, end-to-end framework for RF/mm-wave design automation that translates target specifications into optimized circuits with layouts. It unifies schematic synthesis, layout generation for actives and passives, and placement/routing, incorporating physics-based equations and machine-learning-driven electromagnetic models. Based on post-layout validation on multiple LNAs and PAs operating at up to 60GHz in a commercial 65nm process-kit, COmPOSER meets performance targets, comparable to expert manual designs, while delivering a 100-300x productivity gain.
