Length: 66 hours
Course Description
This learning plan will provide in-depth knowledge of the Allegro® X System Capture schematic entry tool, followed by the Allegro X PCB Editor tool, followed by high-speed constraint management. You will start with a brief introduction to the Pulse Data Platform, followed by modules using the Allegro X System Capture schematic entry tool. Then, you will use the Allegro X PCB Editor tool. You will also explore the Allegro X Constraint Manager to set physical, spacing, and electrical rules.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
Identify the key attributes of the Pulse Data Platform
Create a System Capture projectCreate flat and hierarchical System Capture designsCreate DE-HDL library symbols in the System CaptureCopy System Capture schematic pagesImport DE-HDL and System Capture blocksGenerate a BOM reportEdit properties and define routing rulesExport the design to PCB Editor for placement and routing
- Allegro X PCB Editor Basic Techniques
Efficiently navigate the user interfaceCreate library parts that are used throughout the entire process of the board layoutImport logic design dataIdentify the different design rules and set them in your designPlace your design interactivelyRoute nets interactivelyRun the automatic router
