N2 - Synthesis, the process of automatically translating information from one domain to another, is the complement of Machine Learning (ML), the process of extracting new knowledge from data. This paper presents an early vision on how analog and mixed-signal (AMS) synthesis could be jointly used with ML to exploit the advantages of AMS circuits for ML applications. The paper discusses the need to include two new concepts into AMS synthesis, (i) ontologies to describe the semantics of the application and design spaces, and (ii) defining AMS synthesis as an evolving process that combines concepts from the two ontologies to create a new solution. A case study on designing a low-energy AMS smart badge illustrates the proposed vision.
