AI Workbench - Conceptual Workflow to Develop AI Models for SI/PI-Applications in PCB Development

This paper presents an initial concept for a so-called AI Workbench. It is based on corresponding preliminary work and experience from the EMC Workbench and the development of $\mathrm{AI} / \mathrm{ML}$ models for $\mathrm{SI} / \mathrm{PI}$ design problems. After introducing a process for reducing SI/PI analysis complexity in PCB design through the use of $\mathrm{AI} / \mathrm{ML}$ models, an introduction to the development of $A I / M L$ models for the prediction of SI/PI design solutions is given using two selected examples on the subject of SI and PI. Based on these considerations, a workflow for the development of $A I$ models for SI/PI applications in PCB development is presented. The presented concept takes into account the work steps that must be taken into account when developing $\mathrm{AI} / \mathrm{ML}$ models for $\mathrm{SI} / \mathrm{PI}$ applications. These results are then incorporated into an approach for the development of a workbench to support the systematic generation of $\mathrm{AI} / \mathrm{ML}$ models for the $\mathrm{SI} / \mathrm{PI}$ area.
