Your experience with Altium will look good on your resume. Altium is the third most commonly used EDA tool. Allegro is the most commonly used EDA tool in the industry, followed by Mentor Graphics PADS. We will use Altium, a professional level, commercial tool popular in the industry. You will design and build 3 additional boards in the rest of the class.
Every student will design, build and debug a circuit board prototype project in the first five-weeks. There are four complete board design projects in this 3-credit class. This includes understanding the instruments, best measurement practices, proper probe selection and designing a board for test access. These principles will be applied to solderless breadboards to gain hands-on experience at how quick changes in interconnect design affect noise.Īttention is paid to the most important troubleshooting techniques using scopes and other instruments. In addition to learning how to use circuit boards to connect electronic components, you will also learn how to engineer the interconnects to avoid common signal integrity and power integrity problems. You will learn the basics of successful circuit board design from concept through working board. This is essential preparation for a career in the electronics industry.Īlong the way, you will learn how the principles of circuit theory, electromagnetics, materials science and practical manufacturing constraints drive the design trade-offs in circuit board design and manufacture. You will focus on designing boards that could be used in volume production. This is an in-depth and thorough look at industry accepted best design practices for risk management, test, signal integrity, power integrity, manufacturing and reliability, while meeting cost and schedule goals. Complex, multilayer circuit boards will be designed and analyzed. In this class, we focus on transforming ideas into boards that can be ramped for production. This includes learning the layout tool, how to source parts, build BOMs, incorporate the most important best design practices for signal integrity, manufacturing and test, how to submit orders, and troubleshoot with an oscilloscope. The first five weeks of this class is a “boot camp” to take you from no experience at all, to successfully building two-layer prototype boards for your engineering projects.
