Introduction to PCB Design II–June 6, 2023

Tuesday and Thursday
11:00 A.M. – 1:00 P.M.

Description

In this course, participants employ the lessons learned in Introduction to PCB Design I to effectively implement their designs using techniques such as multi-layer routing, signal integrity, transmission lines, and more. The course also focuses on how manufacturing and assembly techniques impact design, documentation and manufacturing file generation.

LEARNING AND PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES

This program is designed to provide circuit board designers with a balanced foundation of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in printed circuit board design.

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Define and create DRC rules to the appropriate IPC Standards
• Create Rigid and Rigid-Flex boards to meet a wide variety of applications
• Implement industry best practices for:
  • Manufacturability
  • Reliability
  • Documentation
  • Manufacturing file generation
• Recognize the trade-offs between the different layout types and when to use each type
• Assess different component types and attachment methods
  • Differentiate when to use each type of component
• Define standard PWB and CCA notes
  • Apply best practices in negotiating these terms with customers
