OrCAD PCB Editor (48 Hours)

​

What’s the course about

​

Virtually every electronic product is constructed with one or more printed-circuit boards (PCBs). The PCBs hold the ICs and other components and implement the interconnections between them. The ideal PCB design starts with the discovery that a PCB is needed and continues through the final production boards. OrCAD PCB Editor contains full-featured PCB editor based on Allegro technology. Its extensive feature set addresses a wide range of today's design challenges and manufacturability concerns such as intelligent placement and routing, constraint management, creating dynamic shapes, and design reuse.

​

Course objective

​

The course equips students in the area of design implementation for multi-layer PCBs, various aspects of routing, scripting, component placement, spacing constraints and manufacturing file creation using PCB Editor. It teaches how to maximize productivity with interactive etch editing; ensure rules compliance, reduce errors and improve product quality with advanced 3D design, and create dynamic shapes, and reuse or retarget circuity from the same design or across designs.
