• Abstract: Sharing analog integrated circuit designs remains difficult: foundry non-disclosure agreements restrict the process details a design depends on, and the testbenches behind published results are rarely released. We present analog-db, an open-source, versioned database built on a shareable design representation. A domain-specific language captures each design as a process-neutral topology, reusable testbenches, and a machine-readable datasheet under one schema, so a design is shared in full and re-simulates on the process kits it is bound to. A parameterization scheme exposes functional sub-blocks and device sizes as named parameters that carry their matching constraints, making circuits composable and retargetable; a schema-governed contract and queryable catalog let AI design agents discover and reuse them directly. Across the regulator corpus, all 23 circuit-kit bindings on three open kits meet their own recorded specification bands (typical corner, matched devices, no layout) and 10 of 23 meet a common class band. Seventeen of the 23 imported sizings failed their testbenches and closed under a gm/ID sizing loop driven by the annotated sub-block roles, typically within one to three iterations. In a supervised case study, a coding agent working from the released artifacts sized the op-amp cores of a chopper instrumentation amplifier on an open 130nm kit, locating four hand-entry defects and a missing common-mode feedback loop that the sizing-only baseline did not repair. The database holds 68 circuits across sixteen classes, verifiable at schematic level under a tiered harness and tracked on a power/performance scoreboard, released at https://github.com/MacAnalog/spicexplorer-release.
