Artificial intelligence tools are already being effectively used by developers, particularly in the field of software development. But can AI replace analog circuit designers? Can it become a reliable assistant to circuit engineers?
The IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society is organizing a webinar to discuss these issues with Dr. Behzad Razavi, a UCLA professor whose name is known to every analog circuit designer and who was already called a legend during his lifetime.
The webinar will attempt to assess the ability of artificial intelligence tools to correctly analyze circuits, predict quality indicators depending on parameters, create topologies that would satisfy the technical task, and much more.
The webinar will take place on Thursday, July 30 at 5 p.m. Kyiv time (10 a.m. Eastern time in the United States and Canada), and the estimated duration is 3 hours.

Artificial intelligence tools are also being implemented by EDA Tools manufacturers. For example, Cadence already uses AI in digital circuit development tools, in particular for generating GDSII directly from RTL description, to help with SKILL scripts. Machine learning methods also allow you to reduce the time of Monte Carlo analysis of variability.
In our microcircuit design laboratory https://ee.kpi.ua/vlsilab we use licensed software of the latest versions. So try yourself as an analog circuit designer. On the admission portal, look for the competitive offer "Microelectronic Engineering, Microcircuit Design and Biomedical Electronics", https://vstup.edbo.gov.ua/offer/1600911.

We joined the Engineering Festival 2026, which was held at Lyceum No. 214 of the Obolonskyi district of Kyiv.
During the event, the department's teachers talked to students and demonstrated modern equipment and their own scientific and technical developments. The festival participants got acquainted with the process of designing integrated circuits, observed the operation of a wireless device for measuring blood oxygen saturation, and also had the opportunity to register their own biomedical signals using a patient's bedside monitor.
The guests of the event learned about the educational program "Electronic Micro- and Nanosystems and Technologies" of the G5 specialty "Electronics, Electronic Communications, Instrumentation and Radio Engineering", talked with the department's teachers and received answers to their questions about studying at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.
In addition, the students were shown a software environment for designing microcircuits, examples of programs for processing biomedical signals and images were given, information about the department's partners was provided, and employment prospects for graduates in the field of electronics were outlined.

10th grade students of Lyceum No. 214 visited the Faculty of Electronics, where they had a physics lesson in the measurement laboratory and at the same time got acquainted with other scientific spaces of the faculty. As part of our part of the program, high school students were told about modern directions of development of electronics and microelectronics, as well as about opportunities for professional growth in these industries.
The schoolchildren were explained how the global semiconductor industry works: from the design of microcircuits, the use of IP cores and EDA tools to production in high-tech factories, testing and packaging. Examples of the activities of companies engaged in the development of integrated circuits, in particular those operating in Kyiv, were given.
The students saw what microcircuit development engineers, circuit engineers and embedded systems specialists do, and also had the opportunity to observe the stages of the work of an engineer designing integrated circuits.

We participated in the university open day on April 18, 2026. We had the opportunity to talk about the faculty and the features of our educational programs. We showed examples of the developments of our specialists, as well as the workflow of a IC designer.
