Automatic generation of device-level analog circuit topologies remains a fundamental challenge in analog design automation. Recent transformer-based approaches have shown promise, yet they often suffer from limited functional controllability, memorization of training data, and the generation of electrically invalid circuits. We propose AnalogToBi, a device-level analog circuit topology generation framework that addresses these limitations. AnalogToBi enables explicit functional control via a circuit type token and adopts a bipartite graph-based circuit representation that decouples positional ordering from functional semantics, encouraging structural reasoning over sequence memorization. In addition, grammar-guided decoding enforces electrical validity during generation, while apply device renaming-based data augmentation improves generalization by increasing sequence diversity without altering circuit functionality. Experimental results show that AnalogToBi achieves 97.8% validity and 92.1% novelty, resulting in 89.9% valid and novel circuits under conditional generation, without human expert involvement. We further present that generated circuits can be automatically translated into SPICE netlists, and SPICE simulations confirm that AnalogToBi discovers high-quality analog topologies that outperform prior methods.
