Overview
The rapid development of high-performance AI hardware, including data center GPU accelerators, edge computing units, and autonomous driving perception systems, has brought unprecedented challenges to PCB design. These systems are usually integrated with high-density computing chips, 100G+ high-speed I/O interfaces, and high-bandwidth memory modules, leading to concentrated high-speed signal transmission and complex power distribution requirements. Without targeted design optimization, common issues such as signal attenuation, crosstalk, impedance mismatch, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) will directly reduce AI computing efficiency, cause data transmission errors, and even lead to hardware failure.
AI high speed PCB design is a specialized design service tailored for AI hardware scenarios, covering the entire process from schematic review, stack architecture planning, component placement and routing optimization, to performance testing and verification. The design focuses on ensuring signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal stability of high-speed transmission links, while complying with manufacturing feasibility requirements, to support stable operation of AI hardware with peak computing power ranging from 16TOPS to 128TOPS.
Technical Capabilities
- Multi-layer stack design optimization: Supports up to 32-layer PCB stack configuration, with optional dedicated independent ground planes, high-frequency hybrid substrates, ceramic-filled laminates, and other material combinations, effectively shielding cross-layer signal interference, adapting to high-density routing requirements of high compute density AI hardware. The stack design can be customized according to signal rate, power distribution requirements, and board size constraints to balance performance and manufacturing cost.
- Precise impedance control capability: Achieves ±5% impedance control accuracy for 90Ω differential pairs, 100Ω high-speed transmission lines, and 50Ω single-ended signals, reducing signal reflection loss and inter-symbol interference. It is fully compatible with transmission requirements of high-speed differential signals, MIPI CSI/DSI, DDR5, and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) interfaces, ensuring error-free data transmission between computing chips and peripheral modules.
- High-speed signal adaptation support: Supports up to 800Gbps high-speed I/O transmission rates, compatible with PCIe 6.0, CXL 3.0, 112G SerDes, and other mainstream high-speed interface protocols, meeting low-latency, high-fidelity data transmission requirements of AI hardware with up to 128TOPS peak computing power. The design includes targeted optimization for high-speed backplane links, reducing insertion loss and return loss across the entire transmission path.
- Special process compatibility: Supports design of multiple special PCB types for AI scenarios, including HDI boards, rigid-flex boards, heavy copper boards, high-frequency hybrid boards, buried resistance/capacitance boards, buried component boards, buried copper block boards, ceramic boards, and semi-flexible boards, adapting to diverse form factor, heat dissipation, and performance requirements of AI hardware for different application scenarios.
- Full-process verification service: Provides end-to-end verification services including signal integrity (SI) simulation and testing, power integrity (PI) analysis, EMC/EMI testing, thermal simulation, and high/low temperature reliability testing, identifying potential design risks before manufacturing, reducing prototype iteration times and overall project development cycles.
Quality Standards
All AI high speed PCB design processes strictly follow international industry specifications to ensure design reliability and manufacturing feasibility. The design complies with IPC-2221 high-speed PCB design specifications, IPC-9701 performance test standards, and RoHS, REACH environmental protection requirements.
Before finalizing design files, mandatory DFM (design for manufacturing), DFA (design for assembly), and DFT (design for testing) checks are carried out to ensure design solutions are compatible with mass production processes, reducing rework costs and shortening production lead times. For prototype and mass production runs, 100% impedance testing, continuity testing, and insulation resistance testing are required to ensure that the produced boards fully meet design specifications.
For industrial-grade and automotive-grade AI hardware, the design meets wide temperature operation requirements from -40℃ to +85℃, and complies with vibration and shock resistance standards for harsh operating environments, ensuring long-term stable operation of products in complex application scenarios.
