Analog IC Notes · Eularcat

What it does

Organizes publication details, architectures, key circuits, measurements and citations into Markdown / Obsidian notes, preserving figures and LaTeX equations

Adapted from DC-DC Buck Reader, with a Buck reading template and a general template for analog and mixed-signal IC papers

Get started

Download and extract the package, then place analog-ic-notes in the skill directory supported by your tool

Invoke $analog-ic-notes in a new conversation and provide the paper or PDF, note language and output location

Use Analog IC Notes to read this paper and create Markdown notes with circuit analysis, test conditions, citations and figures

Your own paths

Copy config.example.json to a local config.local.json and adjust the directories

{
  "paths": {
    "papers": "./papers",
    "notes": "./notes",
    "images": "./notes/assets"
  },
  "language": "en"
}

Relative paths resolve from the configuration file, absolute paths are also supported, keep personal configuration outside shared packages

The figure helpers require Python and the listed dependencies

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python scripts/paths.py --config config.local.json
python scripts/extract_figures.py paper.pdf --config config.local.json --paper-id my-paper

Keep the evidence

Mark missing information, distinguish measurements from simulations and your own deductions, and check conditions before comparing papers

The skill does not run circuit simulations or validate a design, notes should be checked against the original paper
