PCB Design I

Tuesday and Thursday 1:30 – 3:30 p.m.

Description:

This introductory course will focus on front-end design concepts such as schematic capture, library parts creation, basic electrical engineering concepts, and documentation.

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Define and create schematic symbols and PCB footprints that comply with applicable IPC Standards
• Create simple schematics for use in simulation and prototyping applications
• Implement industry best practices for:
  • Schematic capture
  • Hierarchical design implementation
  • Documentation
  • Parts list generation
• Recognize the trade-offs between the different schematic methodologies and when to use each type
• Assess different component types and attachment methods
  • Differentiate when to use each type of component
• Define standard schematic notes
  • Apply best practices in negotiating these terms with customers
