Objective

Apply design principles to create more complex, reliable PCBs.

Key Learning Areas

• Multi-layer board stack-up concepts.
• Advanced schematic hierarchy and annotation.
• Differential pair routing and controlled impedance basics.
• Power integrity and decoupling capacitor strategies.
• Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) considerations.
• Creating and managing custom component libraries.
• Applying intermediate-level design rules.
• Design verification and electrical rule checks.

Outcome

Learners will be able to design and optimize a double-sided or multi-layer PCB that meets manufacturing and performance criteria.
