In this modern-day world of technology, electronic products have become an integral part of our lives. From entertainment to communication, we all rely on electronic devices to perform everyday tasks. But this wouldn’t be possible without PCBs.

PCB layout designers face an issue of not being able to place component properly for EMI, Mechanical and Assembly purposes as many are unaware of the different shortcut keys that can be used to easily navigate the PADS environment. In addition, they lack the knowledge to check for errors according to DFT and DFM standards.

In this PCB Design course, you will learn the basic design flow process and find out how schematic changes affect layout. Gain hands-on experience by performing actual layout procedures such as schematic creation, footprint creation, placement and routing and Gerber creation using Mentor Graphics PADS VX Standard. You will be exposed to the new constraint editor system that is being introduced in PADS VX. With a better understanding of the basic IPC standards regarding proper layout practices and requirements, you will be able to design high quality and reliable PCBs.
