New Strategies for Pcb Routing

چکیده
As IC technology advances rapidly, the dimensions of packages and PCBs are decreasing while the pin counts and routing layers keep increasing. Today, a high-performance PCB usually contains thousands of pins and more than ten signal layers. Moreover, the manufacturing constraints require all nets to be routed in the planar fashion and the designer requires nets in the same bus to be routed together without any other net. All these factors pose new challenges for the PCB routing problem, making the PCB routing so difficult that no commercial CAD software can provide an automatic solution. Today, all high-end circuit boards are routed manually, in a time-consuming manner. In this dissertation, we present new strategies for automatic PCB routing. In particular, we present novel algorithms for bus sequencing, pin assignment, bus planning, bus escape, and escape routing.

Single-Layer Trunk Routing Using 45-Degree Lines within Critical Areas for PCB Routing
In recent Printed Circuit Boards (PCB), the design size and density have increased, and the improvement of routing tools for PCB is required. Although there are several routing tools that generate high-quality global routings when only horizontal and vertical segments are used, PCB designers are not satisfied with these tools because high-density PCBs require segments that have arbitrary direct...
متن کاملOptimizing Printed Circuit Board Assembly during the Design Process
This paper investigates the incorporation of optimization techniques early in the design process for the manufacturing process of printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. PCB design is a long process in which many sequential optimizations are performed with assembly optimization being the last. Since assembly optimization is not performed until the PCB design is completed it tends to be sub-optima...
متن کاملMobility based Net Ordering for Simultaneous Escape Routing
With the advancement in electronics technology, number of pins under the ball grid array (BGA) are increasing on reduced size components. In small size components, a challenging task is to solve the escape routing problem where BGA pins escape towards the component boundary. It is often desirable to perform ordered simultaneous escape routing (SER) to facilitate area routing and produce elegant...
متن کاملLayer Assignment for System-on-Package
The routing environment for the new emerging mixed-signal System-on-Package (SOP) technology is more advanced than that of the conventional PCB or MCM technology – pins are located at all layers of SOP packaging substrate rather than the top-most layer only. We propose a new interconnect-centric layer assignment algorithm named LA-SOP that handles arbitrary routing topologies and produces near ...
متن کاملA New Mathematical Model for the Green Vehicle Routing Problem by Considering a Bi-Fuel Mixed Vehicle Fleet
This paper formulates a mathematical model for the Green Vehicle Routing Problem (GVRP), incorporating bi-fuel (natural gas and gasoline) pickup trucks in a mixed vehicle fleet. The objective is to minimize overall costs relating to service (earliness and tardiness), transportation (fixed, variable and fuel), and carbon emissions. To reflect a real-world situation, the study considers: (1) a co...
