Expedition PCB Introduction presents the workflow and methods of laying out a printed circuit board using the latest version of Mentor Graphics Expedition PCB. From fundamental library concepts, to the PCB editor environment and the PCB layout process, you will gain hands-on experience in integrating a source schematic, placing and routing the board and outputting the fabrication data.
Detailed lab exercises help reinforce what is discussed during the lectures and provide you with extensive tool usage experience under the guidance of our industry expert instructors.

You will learn how to

• Create Padstacks, Cell (footprint) and Part (PDB) definitions, and build intelligence into components.
• Create a Layout Template.
• Start a PCB Layout by integrating with a schematic design.
• Define Board Geometry
• Place parts, swap pins & gates and back annotate.
• Verify the Layout with on-line and batch Design Rule Checking
• Utilize the Constraint Editor System (CES) to define layout and routing constraints
• Route, using both manual/interactive and automatic routing tools.
• Add test points
• Generate Plane data
• Finalize the Silkscreen
• Generate Gerber Data
• Generate Drill Data
• Document the layout using Report Writer and Associative Dimensions
• Use Net classes and net properties to constraint layout and routing
