PCB AND FLEX DESIGN

Catalog description

This course introduces the student to the fundamental concepts of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design and designing for manufacturing using typical PCB design, simulation, and implementation software. Topics include design based in general rigid Printed Circuit Board (PCB) materials, flexible substrate Printed Circuit Board (PCB) materials, circuit schematic implementation, revision documentation, bill of materials (BOM) generation, Computer-Aided Design (CAD) layout with comparison of electronic design vs. physical design, multilayer auto-router, Gerber (GBR) file generation, and designing a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) to be manufactured on a manufacturing line. Laboratory required. (A special fee will be assessed.)
