design
This course will teach you the full process of designing a circuit board starting from schematic capture in OrCAD, through footprint creation in Allegro, PCB routing, output generation and BOM. You will learn how to create components and symbols in OrCAD, draw schematic, add 3D models of components, set up rules and stackups in Allegro, create PCB footprints, and generate outputs for manufacturing like Gerbers, NC drill files, assembly drawings, pick and place files and BOMs. At the end of the course, you'll get a finished project and you'll be ready to design your own PCBs.
