The field of embedded systems and electronic design automation is witnessing significant developments, driven by the increasing demand for efficient, cost-effective, and scalable solutions. Researchers are exploring innovative approaches to design and optimize electronic systems, leveraging advancements in machine learning, simulation tools, and materials science. A key trend is the integration of machine learning algorithms with traditional design methodologies to accelerate the development of complex electronic systems, such as RF power amplifiers and switched-mode power supplies. Additionally, the use of advanced materials like GaN is being investigated for its potential to enhance the performance of high-electron-mobility transistors. Noteworthy papers in this area include the SPICEAssistant framework, which demonstrates the capability of large language models to adapt and dimension electronic circuits, and the Accelerating RF Power Amplifier Design via Intelligent Sampling and ML-Based Parameter Tuning paper, which presents a machine learning-accelerated optimization framework for RF power amplifier design. The Mobility Extraction and Analysis of GaN HEMTs for RF Applications Using TCAD and Experimental Data paper is also notable for its comprehensive analysis of GaN HEMT behavior, providing valuable insights into structure-performance relationships.
