Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the evolution of 5G communication and the Internet of Things (IoT), the market demand for high-performance and ultra-low-power chips has continued to expand. Traditional design optimization methods that rely on manual iterative processes are facing an efficiency bottleneck, while the development of artificial intelligence (AI) has provided new opportunities for integrated circuit design. By integrating algorithms such as machine learning and deep learning with circuit optimization theory, the industry has achieved a multi-objective automatic optimization paradigm, significantly shortening the design cycle. This technological breakthrough replaces the experience-dominated manual parameter tuning with an algorithm-driven automated process, indicating that the field of integrated circuit design has entered a new era of intelligent upgrading.
This Special Issue aims to collect original research articles on circuit design using automatic optimization techniques. We particularly welcome articles that present novel design techniques, strategies, and approaches to improving the performance, reducing the power consumption, and enhancing the reliability of integrated circuits.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- RF-integrated circuit design automation;
- Analog-integrated circuit design automation;
- Digital-integrated circuit design automation;
- Automatic optimization of integrated circuits for high performance, low power and high reliability;
- Automatic tuning method for circuit parameters;
- Automatic generation method for circuit topology.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
