Introduction
PCB (Printed Circuit Board) CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) Designing is the process of creating a digital model of a circuit board and then using that model to manufacture the physical board. This process involves several steps, including schematic capture, component placement, routing, and manufacturing.
Course Highlights
The curriculum for PCB CAD/CAM designing include the following topics:
- Introduction to Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design
- Understanding schematic diagrams and components
- Circuit board layout and design rules
- PCB fabrication and assembly processes
- PCB layout software and tools (such as Altium Designer, Eagle PCB, and OrCAD)
- Designing multi-layer PCBs and high-speed PCBs
- Designing for manufacturability and assembly
- Generating Gerber files for PCB fabrication
- Testing and validation of PCBs
- Advanced topics such as signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal management in PCB design
The curriculum may also include hands-on projects and assignments to provide practical experience in PCB CAD/CAM designing.
