ABOUT DeepPCB

Advanced ai capabilities plus proven hardware expertise

Our Beta release covers the following features:

Routing for Printed Circuit Boards of up to 150 pairs, 2 layers is currently available. DeepPCB™ is currently free.

All our solved boards are Design Rules Checked (DRC clean) and fully compatible with KiCad.

DeepPCB™ leverages innovative InstaDeep AI technology combined with powerful GPUs and Cloud infrastructure to offer the first pure AI PCB routing engine.

Results in 24 hours, not weeks or months. Saved time accelerates your development cycle and your product ships to market faster.

Your questions answered

Are you doing this manually? I would bet you have humans in the loop

Actually, DeepPCB™ is a fully-automated tool, currently in beta version. Automation is possible thanks to Reinforcement Learning (RL), an AI technology particularly suited for decision-making problems: board games such as Chess or Go, logistics, mobility, or PCB routing. At InstaDeep, we deploy RL systems in the real world and work closely with hardware partners such as Nvidia (after a rigorous technical evaluation, Nvidia upgraded us to preferred partner, the highest status possible) and Intel (we’re part of Intel’s AI Builder Program). We strongly believe that having no humans in the loop is critical to accelerating PCB development cycles. To show that DeepPCB™ is a true fully-automated system, users can now access intermediary routing solutions. The user sees how the AI system progressively increases the quality of its routing as it learns to solve the user’s board.

This is an unsolved NP-hard problem. How much of DeepPCB™ is AI hype? Does InstaDeep have a track record in this domain?

InstaDeep has built credibility in AI circles by innovating in Machine Learning and Reinforcement Learning (RL), specifically on how to find good solutions to NP-Hard problems with AI. InstaDeep has a track record of publishing cutting-edge AI research in that specific domain at top AI conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR (https://www.instadeep.com/research/papers ). InstaDeep also has expertise in productizing AI and RL research. DeepPCB™ is an example but one can also mention DeepPack™ (https://www.deeppack.ai ) or InstaDeep’s long-term collaboration with Deutsche Bahn, which is on its way to revolutionizing the railway industry in Germany, using Deep Reinforcement Learning (https://digitale-schiene-deutschland.de/en/AI-prototyping).

What do you know about hardware?

We have significant domain expertise in Hardware and Electronic Design Automation (EDA): several of our team members have worked many years in companies such as STMicroelectronics, NXP, Dialog, Sagem etc. We believe it’s an exciting time to be working on PCB design automation, and because we have both AI and Hardware expertise, we could be well positioned to do so.

What are you doing with my data? Are you going to sell it to competitors? If it’s free am I not the product?

InstaDeep will never share or sell any of your data to any outside entity. Our sole goal is to accelerate your PCB product development cycle. For now we have released a free beta version but we’re working on a commercial version to tackle larger and more complex boards. We anticipate keeping a free version to make it easier for hobbyists to design their boards.

Why does it take 24 hours? Results are so-so. Is something wrong?

DeepPCB™ is truly an innovative platform. To get results, it actually needs to spend time learning how to solve your board. The learning process is the fundamental difference between our system and others, and while 24 hours might appear long and inefficient, it won’t seem that way when we release upgraded versions of our platform that tackle more complex boards (we’re still in beta). As discussed before and to illustrate the automated learning taking place, we now release intermediary snapshots of the intermediary solutions the system generates during the 24h period.
