PCB Layout in the Xpedition® Flow(Modern UX) presents the workflow and methods of laying out a printed circuit board using the latest version Siemens EDA Xpedition xPCB Layout. From fundamental library concepts, to the PCB editor environment and the PCB layout process, you will gain hands-on experience in integrating a source schematic, placing and routing the board, and outputting the fabrication data.
Hands-on lab exercises uses the newly released 2510 software version, help reinforce lecture and discussion topics, and provide you with extensive tool usage experience under the guidance of our industry expert instructors.
- Familiarity with concepts of PCB technology
- Familiarity with Windows/Linux operating system
- Schematic Capture knowledge preferred
