Analog circuits rarely fail at typical. They fail at the edges: fast silicon, a hot die, a low supply. Cascodex simulates all 45 PVT corners of your design in ngspice. When a spec fails, an AI agent traces it to the device causing it, edits the netlist and re-runs every corner before calling it fixed. On our benchmark it found verified fixes in 32 of 33 runs, at about $0.08 each. Corner maps, waveforms, shareable reports and CI included. Free on the open SkyWater SKY130 process.

Could you build this?
No Verifying analog circuits across 45 PVT corners requires deep analog design expertise, validated device models, and reliable simulator integration that vibe coding cannot supply.
What it would actually take: Build on ngspice or a commercial SPICE engine, with a netlist parser and a corner-sweep harness that re-runs simulations. The AI agent needs circuit-aware reasoning to trace failing specs to devices and make safe netlist edits, which requires validated process models (PDKs) and analog design expertise to judge results. Access to foundry PDKs is often restricted under NDA.
