Machine Learning for high speed channel optimization

Abstract: Design of printed circuit board (PCB) stack-up requires the consideration of characteristic impedance, insertion loss and crosstalk. As there are many parameters in a PCB stack-up design, the optimization of these parameters needs to be efficient and accurate. A less optimal stack-up would lead to expensive PCB material choices in high speed designs. In this paper, an efficient global optimization method using parallel and intelligent Bayesian optimization is proposed for the stripline design.
