Data-Driven Design and Analysis of High-Speed Interconnects on PCBs
Funding: Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg

The expansion of information networks such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) is creating an ever-increasing demand for data. As a logical consequence, this creates a demand for data generation, processing, storage and data transport between these steps. This project is investigating ways of ensuring fast data transport. The aim is to use machine learning (ML) methods to accelerate the design process for high-speed connections. The main focus is on the structure of the PCB, but the effects of line coding and equalizers are also considered. The overall aim is to create a large SI/PI database on the basis of which a hybrid design flow can be created that combines data-driven and physics-based methods. It will be investigated for which sub-areas and in which way the respective ML methods can be used optimally.
