Effective PCB Decoupling Optimization by Combining an Iterative Genetic Algorithm and Machine Learning

An iterative optimization for decoupling capacitor placement on a power delivery network (PDN) is presented based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The ANN is first trained by an appropriate set of results obtained by a commercial simulator. Once the ANN is ready, it is...
