To facilitate LLMs&rsquo; comprehension, an efficient preprocessing methodology is introduced to convert schematic data into structured <strong>CSV formats</strong>. The evaluation requires the models to parse circuit netlists, retrieve specifications from component datasheets available in the workspace, and calculate the critical circuit parameters, specifically the <strong>common-mode voltage</strong> and <strong>differential swing</strong> of the clock output.</p>
