Allegro PCB Editor Intermediate Techniques

Length : 2 days

Course Description

The Allegro^® PCB Editor Intermediate Techniques course gives you a deeper understanding of the software, and includes features and tips. You apply constraints, autoroute high-speed designs, and work with differential pairs. In this course, you also explore high-speed design rules, create areas in your design that require different routing rules, and generate testpoints. In the task-oriented labs, you use a combination of interactive and automatic tools.

This is the second in a two-course series. You need to complete the Allegro PCB Editor Basic Techniques course before taking this one or have the equivalent work experience.

This course requires the SPB17.4-2019 software or later.
