Course Part Number: 056144

Description

The Board Station suite of PCB design tools provides the most comprehensive technology available for board design. You will examine every step of the design process in lectures; including schematic packaging, component placement, interconnect routing and manufacturing data generation. Lab exercises provide you with hands-on tool usage experience under the guidance of our industry-expert instructors reinforcing the design process steps covered in the lecture.

You will learn how to

• Create a board outline geometry
• Create and edit mapping and catalog files to control packaging of logic symbols into components
• Package a PCB design automatically and interactively
• Setup design rules for automatic clearance checking
• Use placement tools to automatically or interactively place components on a board
• Use routing tools to complete route trace connections
• Create filled or hatched copper areas, split power planes, and thieving
• Create the data necessary to manufacture the board including: artwork, and drilling data; and fabrication and assembly drawings

Hands-On Labs

Throughout this course, extensive hands-on lab exercises provide you with practical experience in using Board Station under the guidance of our expert instructors. Hands-on lab topics include:

• Adding schematic properties to control component placement in layout
• Building a board outline geometry
• Packaging the board design
• Placing components on a board using various interactive and automatic techniques
• Setting PCB design rules including rules for layers and clearances
• Routing net connections interactively
• Creating copper areas for power and ground planes
• Generating artwork, drill and mill data
• Creating fabrication and assembly drawings
• Creating a bill of materials

Audience

• PCB Designers and Technicians
• Electrical Engineers who will be directing or performing their own circuit board layout
• CAD Engineers and Managers who are responsible for integrating Board Station into their design flow
• Members of CAD supports groups who are responsible for increased productivity of PCB design teams

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of PCB design techniques and theory. Experience designing printed circuit boards is a definite plus.
