Schematic Capture for EEs Onboarding Training

Length: 6.6 Days (53 hours)

Course Description

This learning plan will provide in-depth knowledge of the Allegro X System Capture schematic entry tool, high-speed constraint management, and Sigrity Aurora. You will start with a brief introduction to the Pulse Data Platform, followed by modules using the Allegro X System Capture schematic entry tool. You will then explore the Allegro X PCB  Editor High-Speed Constraints, followed by the Sigrity Aurora tool.
