本文提出一种基于地球移动距离(EMD)的确定性、机器辅助的SI合规印制电路板(PCB)设计优化框架。与传统依赖迭代黑箱搜索的方法不同,该方法采用可解释的顺序评估策略:首先利用神经代理模型从拓扑相关设计参数中高效预测波形描述特征;随后,基于物理原理的决策树作为质量门控,依据预设的SI标准识别出符合要求的波形;在有效解空间内,使用地球移动距离(EMD)作为相似性度量,对候选设计方案按其与理想参考信号的接近程度进行排序。该方法不仅可确定性地识别出可接受的参数区域,还能无需反向建模或随机搜索,透明地优先选择物理性能更优的方案。该方法在大规模模拟的DDR3飞驰型(fly-by)波形数据集上进行了验证,结合代理预测、可解释分类和EMD波形评估,为基于AI的PCB开发提供了可解释且计算高效的替代优化策略。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This work presents a deterministic, machine-assisted framework for SI-compliant PCB design based on the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD). In contrast to conventional surrogate-based optimization methods that rely on iterative black-box search procedures, the proposed approach follows an interpretable, sequential evaluation strategy. Neural surrogate models are first used to efficiently predict waveform describing features from topology-dependent design parameters. A decision tree then acts as a physically motivated quality gate that identifies SI-compliant waveforms according to predefined SI criteria. Within the resulting valid solution space, the Earth Mover's Distance is employed as a similarity metric to rank candidate designs according to their proximity to an ideal reference signal. This enables not only the deterministic identification of admissible parameter regions but also a transparent prioritization of physically superior solutions without inverse modeling or stochastic search procedures. The methodology is demonstrated using a large-scale set of simulated DDR3 fly-by waveforms. By combining surrogate prediction, interpretable classification, and EMD-based waveform evaluation, the framework provides an explainable and computationally efficient alternative to conventional optimization strategies for supporting PCB development with AI-based methods.
