Live Webcast: Stop Reinventing the Wheel, Start Using PCB Design Reuse
Since prehistoric times, Man has looked for ways to make life easier and PCB designers are no different.
No, we’re not comparing PCB designers to cavemen. We’re talking about making life easier. Why not reuse work that you have done before -- known work that satisfied all your constraint and quality criteria? We call this PCB design reuse and it comes in different flavors: informal and formal.
All EDA vendors says they offer design reuse, but not all reuse capabilities are equal. In fact, some layout tools have unreasonable restrictions that make reuse difficult, if not unusable. This session will show you how Expedition Enterprise provides the right balance of flexibility and control while making your work life easier.

Design for Manufacture (DFM) analysis can identify fabrication issues before the design is delivered to manufacturing, to eliminate any potential delays. A comprehensive DFM analysis examines the design from the perspective of the fabrication and assembly process. For example, are there potential areas of exposed traces or component pads that may result in solder bridging? Does the IPC-D-356 netlist generated from the CAD tool correlate to Gerber files generated from the CAD tool? Numerous variables in a typical PCB design can impact PCB fabrication, bare board testing, and component assembly.
Live Webcast: Designing PCB Stackups for Impedance Controlled BoardsWe will look at different considerations for both impedance planning and stackup design, and cover principles of how stackup parameters, such as dielectric thickness and trace width, impact impedance, as well as tips to help your manufacturer achieve your design intent.
